Forecast text
The National Library of Medicine requires the replacement of aging Cisco Nexus 9000 series network switches that support the core infrastructure of the Bethesda, Maryland and Sterling, Virginia data centers. These switches provide the primary connectivity for computing systems, storage platforms, research environments, and public services operated by the National Library of Medicine. The current hardware is approaching the end of the manufacturer's support lifecycle, which increases the risk of service disruption and limits access to security updates and technical support. This request will procure and deploy new Cisco Nexus 9000 series hardware, associated components, and vendor support services to ensure continued reliability, improved performance, and compliance with federal cybersecurity requirements. The project includes procurement, installation, configuration, testing, and migration from the legacy equipment to the new platforms with minimal operational disruption.
