To do the above capture, process and storage of data the machines need very fast networking hence the need to support 2x 10Gb/s network ports at the moment, they will need some very fast processors with a lot of ram to process the data, hence the GPU's and the 256Gb of RAM and they will need some very fast data storage devices hence the 240Gb SSD's being specified. As technology improves faster CPU's GPU's memory and SSD's may become available and may be required to improve the performance of the machines ultimately used. These machines MUST be compatible with the Redhat (version 7) operating system, drivers must be available for all components used within the machines. ## CPV classification Software package and information systems Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/b19f5148-8abb-4ed9-a11f-614bc4c33c21) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
