SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q1. The solicitation references an expansion upgrade to an existing SNS shared storage system. For the Storage DND archival portion of the requirement, is this an initial implementation/installation of Storage DNA onto an existing HP DL20 server, or an upgrade/expansion on existing Storage DNA installation on an HP DL20? The wording of CLIN 0006 would suggest it is an upgrade to an existing Storage DNA install on an HP DL20 server.

A1: It is an upgrade to an existing Storage DNA.

Q2. The part number for CLIN 0006 is an SNS expansion chassis support plan part number (SVC934S‐16EXP), do you have the desired Storage DNA hardware part number?

A2: The Government does not have the desired Storage DNA hardware part number.

Q3. CLIN 0009 references training, as well as support and workflow [configuration] for the DVAevolution product.

Would this training and other support be required to be performed on‐site, or would it be possible to be performed online? CLIN 0011 references on‐site installation, configuration and testing, however the training, which would need to take place after installation, configuration and testing, may affect travel costs if the training is required to be on‐site.

A3: The training needs to be done on‐site in order to maximize the quality of the training. Part of the training can also be done during the installation of the upgrade.

Q4. SNS configuration of the expansion units is typically done over Team Viewer, which is an online tool that allows the technician to make changes and settings on the client's system via a secured internet connection. Once this is completed, no connection or access whatsoever is possible by SNS or anyone else involved in the project. Knowing that US government military facilities have restrictions on this kind of support, would this be allowed, or would the technician need to be physically on‐site to provide this service?

A4: The configuration of the units will be done in‐person during the installation. Ongoing support can be done via phone.

Q5. What is the number of users that currently use the SNS system, and would these be the same users that access and use the Storage DNA archival portion, requiring training on that system?

A5: The current number of users is 6 on desktop Macs and another 8 on laptops connected to the system. The number for access to the archival portion will be 4, all of which will be there for the training portion.

W912CL21Q0004

Q6. What is the number of mac workstations that the setup of required software and licenses would need to be performed on?

A6: Total of 14 stations, which include the laptops.

Q7. If more questions or information is needed pre‐quotation, would it be possible to set up a conference call with the end‐user main POC that would be involved in actually using the product?

A7: All questions must be submitted through the Contract Specialist / Contracting Officer to ensure equal dissemination of information. The questions and answers are posted in an Amendment to the solicitation. The solicitation closing will not be extended for the sole purpose of answering questions submitted after the July 9 deadline identified in the announcement at www.sam.gov.
