The Government may acquire for testing purposes one or more vendor products. This solution or group of solutions must provide capabilities such as Level 2 caching, resource redundancy and high availability, hardware configuration flexibility, remote management capabilities, scalability (both vertical and horizontal), as well as provide processor speeds capable of handling high volume processing in an efficient manner. The vendor must identify the form factor of their proposed solution, as well as power requirements, cooling enhancements, security features, and any predictive diagnostic capabilities that can alert a management system. In addition, the vendor should identify whether the systems are engineered by the vendor or if components are integrated. The vendor should identify cost advantages of their solution over that of another vendor, provide a price versus performance ratio, and identify any vendor relationships with Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and System Integrators (SIs). Additionally, the vendor should identify any enhancements or capabilities that would distinguish them from another vendor, such as: storage enhancements, networking cards, memory enhancements, processor enhancements, and any supplementary or emerging capabilities worth noting. Furthermore, the vendor must identify the following post-sale support information: detailed warranty information, training provided, level of support, service level agreement for the stated level of support, and how many cleared personnel will be available to support their solution or group of solutions. Vendors should only provide information on systems that can support the following capabilities: Desktop PC solutions: Must be less than 40lbs Maximum size 20? x 10? x 20?
