BRAND NAME SPECIFICATION

Test Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Environment

BACKGROUND:

Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) has a requirement to stand up a test Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environment. A Test VDI environment will allow to follow proper software deployment procedures by testing in the Test environment prior to deploying in the Production environment. Thus minimizing the potential of Production VDI down time. The test VDI environment will create a smaller footprint that resembles the Production VDI environment. All software (including patches, application releases, GPOs etc.) will be processed through the Test environment and then released to the Production environment.

To accomplish this will need to procure Dell R740xd servers, NVIDIA 900-2G183- 0000-001 Tesla T4 PCIe 16 video adapters, Teradici APEX 2800 LP Sever Offload Cards, hard drives, Random Access Memory (RAM), and disk trays.

The Dell R740xd servers will be used to create the test VDI environment. The NVIDIA 900- 2G183-0000-001 Tesla T4 PCIe 16 video adapters, Teradici APEX 2800 LP Sever Offload Cards, hard drives, Random Access Memory (RAM), and disk trays will be used internally in the Dell R740xd servers which will be the test VDL environment’s ESXi servers which will host all the virtual systems.

Brand Name Specification:

Dell server:

It is importin that the four (4) new Dell R740xd servers be of the same make, model and have the same internal resources as the servers in the production environment. The new Dell PowerEdge R740xd server will be a part of test VDI environment and must match each other to be efficient and effective. This will ensure a transparent failover if a failure should occur.

It is essential that these new assets seamlessly interoperate with the Dell Shared storage devices currently in operation. This strategy is in-line with ’s previous Dell Power Edge server procurements under which was the contract to procure the Dell 740xd servers for production.

NVIDIA Tesla video adapter:

The NVIDIA T4 GPU is the only video card on the market that supports virtual graphics processing unit (vGPU). The NVIDIA T4 GPU video cards will give the servers the internal resources they need to support all the systems that area part of a high availability server cluster.

Resources must match each other to be efficient and effective. This will ensure a transparent failover if a failure should occur.

Responsiveness is key to user engagement for services such as conversational AI, recommender systems, and visual search. As models increase in accuracy and complexity, delivering the right answer right now requires exponentially larger compute capability. The NVIDIA T4 GPU video card delivers up to 40X times better throughput, so more requests can be served in real time.

The NVIDIA T4 GPU accelerates diverse cloud workloads, including high-performance computing, deep learning training and inference, machine learning, data analytics, and graphics.

Based on the new NVIDIA Turing™ architecture and packaged in an energy-efficient 70-watt, small PCIe form factor, NVIDIA T4 GPU video card is optimized for mainstream computing environments and features multi-precision Turing Tensor Cores and new RT Cores. Combined with accelerated containerized software stacks from NVIDIA T4 GPU video card delivers revolutionary performance at scale.

Teradici APEX 2800 LP Sever Offload Card:

The APEX cards reduce CPU load by dynamically offloading up to 100 displays per card. It will accelerate and cache the video output for VMs, which offers more consistent performance and reduces bandwidth utilization.

With software rendering being a significant part of the VDI workload, the APEX offload cards offer better performance per dollar than additional CPUs to the hosts.

Teradici Corporation solely owns the technology used in the Teradici APEX 2800 LP Sever Offload Card. There are no other companies that can provide this technology.

Drives, drive trays, and memory:

The Intel Solid State Drives, Crucial RAM, and drive trays will be a part of a highly available cluster that uses vSAN. These same items were procured on contract to be a part of the current twelve (12) system cluster. These five (5) servers and corresponding parts are being added to the current highly available cluster, which need to be of the same hardware to ensure seamless integration and continuity between the first 12 systems and the 5 systems being added.

RESELLERS:

The Dell 740xd servers can be procured directly or from a Dell federal authorized reseller. No substitutes or replacements allowed.

The NVIDIA Tesla video adapter, Teradici APEX 2800 LP Sever Offload Cards, drives, drive trays, and memory can be procured directly from the manufacturers or from one of its certified value-added resellers. There does not need to be an in depth relationship between the vendor and NUWCDIVNPT (code 1041). Not substitute or replacements allowed.
