Notice Title

ICT Disaster Recovery Solution

Notice Description

Southport and Ormskirk NHS Trust is looking to invest in a technical disaster recovery solution that will enhance recovery times. The current infrastructure is based on dual Dell Compellent SC8000 SAN's - one located at the Southport datacentre and one located at the Ormskirk datacentre. Datacentres are approximately 8 miles apart and connected by 2 x 1GB dedicated LAN extension links providing layer 2 connectivity and asynchronous replication with minimal latency. The Trust operates VMWare ESXi VSphere V5.5 and approximately has 90% of all servers virtualised. In total there are approximately 220 servers. Data replication operates at a SAN level utilising Dell technology. As part of a wider disaster recovery review, the Trust's IT dept. is looking to improve capability and simplify the recovery process. Approximately 100 virtual machines are to be protected with a new technology to aid automated and simple failover to a secondary site. Essentially the key business and clinical systems must be recoverable within minutes of a known service issue at the primary site. Additional information: All responses to be submitted via EU Supply https://uk.eu-supply.com/login.asp?B=UK you will need to register and then search for tender 21785 before the end date, any responses after this date will not be considered.
