TENDER DESCRIPTION
This tender invites bids for the delivery, installation, configuration, and commissioning of a highly available block storage system for the University of Konstanz, including comprehensive data migration services from an existing Fujitsu Eternus DX500 S4 system. The technical requirements specify a system with redundant RAID controllers, redundant power supplies, and FC network IO modules, delivered in 19" housings compatible with Knürr server cabinets, with integrated HTML5-based remote management and a Call Home function. A critical functionality is online active-active mirroring between locations via VMware vSphere 8.x Hosts with synchronous data mirroring. The contract encompasses a 60-month warranty and extensive maintenance services, including a software update service, and requires the provision of support services and German-language documentation. Tenderers must provide evidence of at least two manufacturer-certified technicians and prove compatibility with existing IT infrastructure, with financial standing assessed through declarations on exclusion grounds and solvency.
TENDER BRIEF
The contract has a duration of 60 months for maintenance services and a warranty period of 60 months. The update service for all software components is also over a period of 60 months.

Payment for the purchase of hardware is due after successful commissioning and final acceptance of the overall system. Key milestones mentioned include the delivery, installation, and commissioning of a highly available block storage system, including migration and maintenance services.
