Additional local storage needs (e.g., "temp file" storage for a transaction server or standalone storage configurations) are satisfied by additional drives in RAID level 1, 5, or 10 configuration, with a hot spare which can be shared with the page/swap disk's hot spare; Drive Speed Minimum 10K RPM; Drive Capacity -- Minimum 300GB usable storage capacity; the disk RAID group must meet or exceed the performance levels specified for tests. "Transaction Rate" and "Throughput Rate" Validation will be incorporated in user acceptance phase; controller cache minimum 256MB; minimum of one controller "External Storage Interface: Fiber-channel with duplex LC connectors, CPU bus type is PCI-E or Ethernet matching connector type of storage-dedicated network in data center; minimum of two ports; bandwidth Minimum 4Gbps for optical or 1Gbps for copper; must meet or exceed SAN fabric requirements; support storage arrays at deployment location; supported by operating system and multipath drivers specified for this server; BIOS support for SAN boot; dual embedded switches for Blade Chassis Component (if applicable); hardware supports connecting redundant ports configured to separate switches on the SAN. Minimum two adapters with minimum one port per adapter. Support for link aggregation. "Server Communications Interface: Ethernet matching connector type for network in data center; minimum of 6 ports required; Minimum 1Gbps Bandwidth; hardware supports connecting redundant ports configured to separate switches on the LAN; supports redundant ports (may include embedded ports) for each interface function (e.g., public network function and cluster interconnect function); Blade Chassis Component (if applicable) includes dual embedded switches; "Removable Media Device: Optical Drive CD/DVD drive - minimum 24x speed; USB v2.0 port "Power: N+1 redundancy on power supply; 115-208V input voltage on power supplies; IEC cord; power efficiency consistent with industry trends; vendor-supplied documentation for power consumption of specified configuration at 100% load, "typical" active usage, and at idle. "Cooling Fan: Minimum N+1 redundancy "Out of Band Management: Remote command-line and console-level access utilizing dedicated network interface; secure IP-based remote management that complies with all VA security requirements; ability to remotely power on/off/reset server "Rack Infrastructure Compatibility: rack unit measurement of 1U or 2U for rack-mount servers; blade implementations will be evaluated on an individual basis; tool-less square-hole sliding rail type; side-reversible cable management for non-blade solutions "Operating System: NONE. "Datacenter Management: Remote Keyboard/Video/Mouse Control through a networked KVM switch; ability to remotely disconnect/reconnect server to power source The Class B servers should be in new condition and come with a standard commercial warranty.
