AVDB Dell Server Tech Refresh

Scope: The Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD), Code 60 has a requirement for the purchase of three (3) Dell PowerEdge and a Schneider Electric Power Distribution Units. NWCPD currently utilizes three (3) servers for processing acoustic data. The current server configuration is as follows: Two (2) Dell Power Edge R760 and one (1) Dell Power Edge R770. These servers are reaching the end of their lifecycle and require replacement. Per requirement, the AVDB computer hardware must be upgraded every five years as part of the tech refresh hardware lifecycle. Based on extensive benchmarking of the current AVDB system, the new computer hardware is specified as upgrading to the current hardware in order to meet the new processing expectations during the next portion of the lifecycle. The configuration of the AVDB System utilizes the Dell Servers mentioned above for processing, has been utilized for thousands of hours of testing. Utilizing an alternate hardware vendor would require a comprehensive overhaul of the AVDB System compatibility specifications, directly impacting other existing hardware interfaces. Specifically, integrating equipment from a different manufacturer would render the current Direct Attached Storage Expansion units completely incompatible. Replacing these critical, high-priority storage units with alternative drive arrays would introduce significant, unbudgeted acquisition costs to the program.
