The total budget for this contract is £300,000 exc. VAT. The new hardware procured as part of this contract will need to be delivered and installed by the 31st March 2017. The service will be required to be installed in such a manner to minimise the downtime of service to Diamond users as this new hardware will be physically replacing existing HPC nodes in use. The removal and disposal of existing hardware will be the responsibility of Diamond. The new HPC cluster nodes will be integrated into an existing cluster and storage infrastructure. The management of the cluster nodes will be based on the use of IPMI and CFEngine, with Redhat used for operating system, and existing storage provided by Lustre and GPFS needing to be supported by any hardware provided.
