GOODS FOR THE DATA STORAGE INFRASTRUCTURES

The ILL produces and stores a great deal of data during each reactor operating cycle, particularly from research instruments and this volume of data is increasing exponentially, reaching today ~200TiB per cycle (i.e. +400 to +600 TiB of data per year depending on the number of cycles performed). After a few years of shutdown due to an instrument modernization program, ILL is set to resume a very dynamic production rate over the next 10 years. As a result, scalability is a key issue for ILL in order to support future needs without having to completely overhaul the existing system after just a few years. The ILL focuses on open-source technologies, enabling the use of commodity hardware with a high degree of flexibility. We aim to develop and maintain good in-house knowledge of these technologies to guarantee our independence. The aim of this call for tenders is to gather bids from servers and IT material suppliers in order to set a framework contract both on a firm part (global order set for 3 servers and their accessories) and future needs in terms of servers as well: - Firm order for (but not limited to) : 3 Single Node 60-bay Storage Server (Supermicro SSG-640SP-E1CR60 or equivalent) and 130 20TB Enterprise Class SAS3 12Gb/s 7200RPM – 3.5" - Optional pricelist for single node 90-bay storage server, High density 2U storage server, High density 1U storage server, 1U storage server, 1U compute server
