- Description
- The purpose of this amendment is to provide the following responses to questions posed by potential offerors: Question 1: Is it preferred to quote a box that is 80TB or a box that is fully stocked to the maximum storage capacity? The pricing may vary significantly. Is the 80TB minimum 80TB Raw or Usable? Response 1: A single quote of equal to 80 TB, or slightly over is acceptable. Other quotes at various incremental storage levels above the initial 80 TB requirement will also be accepted. A determination of the final award will be made based on availability of funds and a price/storage amount ratio comparison. The 80TB value is an initial, minimum raw measurement. Question 2: **RAID controller must contain 2GB of cache memory Is 2GB the minimum? Is it okay to quote 4GB? Response 2: 2GB is the minimum cache memory, 4GB is okay to quote. Question 3: Which protocols will you need to use in addition to NFS? Response 3: Any protocol that is natively supported in the Linux 2.6 kernel to allow remote access to the storage unit during disaster recovery and facility maintenance events. Question 4: Is there a preference for an HA configuration with the heads? If so, how many nodes? (1-8) Response 4: There is no preference on HA configuration. Question 5: Will they require any 10GbE host connectivity? Response 5: 10GbE is currently not a requirement, but can be quoted as a separate line item.
