For this project SECPSD has decided to expand our investment, supporting the changing dynamics of our data center needs and embracing new technologies.  The proposed solution will need to assess and evaluate our current core metrics and then provide a solution that will envision future needs as well as accommodating new technologies.

The new equipment will replace the existing in our data center and as part of this agreement, the successful vendor will also be responsible for migrating all existing virtual servers and data to the new environment.  The successful proposal as well will need to integrate with the existing infrastructure and the Division’s existing Azure tenant.

As a point of clarification

The intent of this RFP is to provide insight into our current environment (currently Dell) and offer our potential responders the opportunity to create their own design and specifications - hardware or virtual, based on what the RFP outlines as minimum specification needs for our data center.

This RFP had originally requested paper copies but to be understanding of the current environment, SECPSD will as well accept electronic copies.  Please send your completed RFP submission to tenders@secpsd.ca by date set in our document.
