This tender invites qualified service providers to supply, deliver, install, configure, and maintain on-premises backup appliances, including three years of support. Key requirements include integration with existing systems and compliance with specified technical standards.
The Stellenbosch Municipality seeks proposals from experienced vendors to provide on-premises backup appliances, specifically ExaGrid EX81 and EX54 models, along with comprehensive installation and configuration services. The successful bidder will be responsible for ensuring that the new backup solutions integrate seamlessly with the existing VMware and Veeam infrastructure, which includes a mix of virtual and physical servers. Additionally, bidders must demonstrate their capability to provide ongoing support and maintenance for a period of three years, including 24/7 technical assistance, hardware replacement, and regular system health checks.
Vendors are required to submit a validated architecture that outlines how their proposed solutions will work with the current backup and replication systems. The scope of work includes conducting full and incremental backup tests, restore tests, and immutability verification to ensure data integrity. This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specializing in IT infrastructure and data management solutions to engage with a municipal client and contribute to enhancing the municipality's data protection capabilities.
This tender is suitable for IT service providers, particularly those with expertise in backup solutions, virtualization technologies, and data management. Companies that are Veeam and VMware partners, as well as those with experience in implementing ExaGrid systems, are encouraged to apply.
