Statistics Norway (SSB), Kongsvinger branch, will move into new office premises in the first half of 2025 and will no longer operate its own computer room. This tender will provide us with a co-location agreement for existing equipment we currently operate in our own server rooms. An absolute requirement for co-location is that it can be a maximum of 3 hours away from Jernbaneplassen in Kongsvinger, calculated using a car in Google Maps.
SSB endeavours to be out of the current server room by the end of 2024 at the latest. The current in-house data centre is to be phased out by 1 January 2025.

SSB endeavours to be out of the current server room by the end of 2024 at the latest. The current in-house data centre is to be phased out by 1 January 2025.
We currently have two separate server rooms, which are redundant to each other, located in different fire zones in their own building.
We have no requirement for geo-redundancy for the new data centre, but it is preferable that redundant and duplicated equipment at the new location can be placed in such a way that 50% of the equipment can be maintained in the event of an incident, such as fire, water damage, etc.
We require Tier 3 or better for the data centre.
Under this agreement, we would also like quotes for assistance in connection with the planning and implementation of the relocation process. Although we initially envisage moving as-is, we recognise that it will be necessary to invest in new equipment to be placed at the new location if this is conducive to facilitating the move, or that we will need to renew some equipment anyway. The purchase of such equipment is covered by SSB's existing purchase agreements.
See the attached requirements table for a complete list of our requirements for the service.
On-site back-up will be stored at a new location. Off-site back-up will be sent to our existing data room at our premises in Oslo.
