The South African National Space Agency (SANSA) is inviting proposals for OpenStack Cluster Support Services to enhance its existing high-performance computing (HPC) cluster. The successful bidder will be responsible for the deployment, configuration, and optimization of an OpenStack environment, which includes multiple compute and GPU nodes, as well as extensive storage capabilities. Key requirements include proven experience in managing large-scale OpenStack deployments, familiarity with automation tools, and the ability to provide 24/7 support for critical incidents.
The scope of work encompasses several phases: design, implementation, testing, training, and maintenance. The service provider will be expected to deliver comprehensive documentation, conduct training sessions for SANSA staff, and ensure a smooth transition to the new OpenStack environment. This project not only aims to improve SANSA's cloud infrastructure but also to foster local expertise in OpenStack technologies, thereby benefiting the South African space science community.
This tender is suitable for IT service providers with expertise in cloud computing, particularly those experienced in OpenStack deployments and support. Companies that can demonstrate a track record of managing large-scale cloud environments and providing technical training and support are encouraged to apply.
