The contract for the existing HPE 3par storage infrastructure (HPE = Hewlett Packard Enterprise) expiring on December 31, 2021 must be replaced by a new HPE Greenlake storage environment with a term of 5 years (1/1/2022 — 12/31/2026/rental period) (consumption-oriented service model/infrastructure as a service (IaaS) on-premise).

The existing HPE storage environment as well as the HPE storage environment to be deployed forms the basis for the existing HPE VMware server/virtualization environment and HPE SAN switch infrastructure, which consists entirely of HPE hardware.

The system to be deployed must be 100% compatible with 2 existing HPE 3PAR 7200 storage systems both for data transfer and for a longer period of parallel operation. In particular, the functions of synchronous mirroring and transparent failover between systems must be ensured.

The procurement process includes the provision of 2 HPE Primera systems (delivery, setup, installation, HPE startup service) through to delivery of the systems for use and further implementation by the client (AG).
