What the buyer is looking for
The aim of this tender is the purchase of software licenses from the manufacturer Broadcom from the VMware product portfolio by the LDI, on the basis of concluded EVB-IT assignment type B contracts with a term of 3 years · Within the country operation data and information, VMware vSphere has been used for many years as a software solution for the virtualization of systems. The procured server systems, data backup and storage systems are geared towards compatibility with this software solution. The employees are trained accordingly and the operating processes are adapted to the required function. In a foreseeable period of a few years, a change in technology that is constantly and currently being examined, regardless of all mandatory framework conditions, would not be economically and in some cases technologically feasible, which is why the present tender is manufacturer- and product-related. Redhat's licensing model includes packages for 4, 16 or 64 cores.
