Storage für die Switch Cloud

This tender, originating from Switzerland and published via the TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) platform, seeks to procure substantial storage capacity for the Switch Cloud infrastructure over a five-year period. Switch, a key player in the Swiss digital landscape, is looking to acquire up to 42 Petabytes (PB) of storage solutions.

This procurement is crucial for expanding the capabilities and capacity of their cloud services, supporting a growing demand for data storage and management from their clients and partners.

The contract will involve the provision and potentially the management of this significant volume of storage. Typical requirements for such a tender would include detailed specifications on storage technology (e.g., object storage, block storage, file storage), performance metrics (IOPS, latency, throughput), scalability, reliability, data durability, and security features. Bidders are expected to demonstrate their ability to deliver and integrate solutions that meet these demanding technical requirements within the specified timeframe. Furthermore, proposals will likely need to address service level agreements (SLAs), support and maintenance provisions, potential for future upgrades, and adherence to relevant Swiss and European data protection regulations. The contracting authority, Switch, will be evaluating proposals based on technical merit, cost-effectiveness, and the vendor's proven track record in delivering large-scale storage solutions.
