1-RFB 3916 - Attachment A.xlsx

This is a technical specifications attachment (Attachment A) for a Request for Bid submitted by Eastern Municipal Water District in California for VMware vSphere and vCenter renewal. The attachment details the current virtualization infrastructure across three primary cluster environments: the Management Cluster consisting of three ESXi hosts, the V7_PROD2 production cluster with eleven ESXi hosts, and the VSEC1 cluster with seven ESXi hosts distributed across two node groups (EH and OMC), plus a Test/Development cluster with three ESXi hosts. The specifications document the processor configuration for each virtual host, including socket counts, core counts per socket, and licensing core requirements for Foundation and vSAN licenses across the infrastructure.

The attachment provides granular technical requirements essential for vendor proposals, detailing Foundation License core counts totaling 528 cores across the Management and Production clusters, 224 cores for the VSEC1 cluster, and 96 cores for the Test/Development cluster. All hosts are configured with two CPU sockets, with core counts per socket varying from 12 to 24 depending on the cluster designation. The vSAN license core counts are specified at 0 across all environments, indicating no vSAN licensing is currently active. This technical inventory serves as the basis for vendors to calculate renewal costs and propose licensing solutions aligned with the district's existing infrastructure investment and operational requirements.
