PCS Data Center Equipment

Pitt County Schools is seeking a proposal to obtain via purchase a Data Center Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) solution that contains hardware, software, and support services. The solution should meet or exceed the specifications provided in the document. The proposal should include a quote for a Single Cluster HCI Hardware Solution with Scale Computing Hypervisor, a quote for a Dual Cluster HCI Hardware Solution with Nutanix Hypervisor, a quote for Virtualization, Migration, and Installation Services, and a quote for Extended Warranty Support for all hardware and software. Some key points to consider are: • The HCI solution should be a single vendor solution, managed by a single piece of software/application. • The solution should consist of a single pane/thin management console application, with storage, CPU, and Virtual Machines (VMs) managed by the same application. • All hardware should be tightly integrated into nodes and managed from the single page management application, with scalability provided by easily adding nodes based on resources needed. • The solution should remove compatibility and integration issues of a multi-vendor solution.
