Brand name justification for procurement of Dell EMC DMX3 Symmetrix Storage array with 28TB usable to replace exiting DMX800's for the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Human Resources. For purposes of standardizing the infrastructure components of the HR system it is necessary for this equipment to be the Dell brand name. Human Resources strive to maintain a single point of accountability, with common network and systems management tools compatible with current equipment. The existing IT infrastructure has been developed utilizing an architecture based on a Dell sourced platform. To promote an overall lower Total Cost of Ownership, this procurement should be considered incremental to the existing infrastructure. Utilizing Dell for these additional enterprise products and services will provide continuity and single point of contact responsibility for the overall infrastructure. Having Dell as the single vendor for the entire enterprise mix of servers and storage products, including software, provides a clear escalation path and resolution of all issues to maintain critical systems.This action is taken in accordance with the provisions of FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source. The statutory authority is 41 U.S.C. 253 (c) (1), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, as identified by FAR 6.302-1. For purposes of standardizing the infrastructure components of the HR system it is necessary for this equipment to be the Dell brand name. Dell provides common images and components with its servers platforms ? helping to simplify management and cut costs. Dell has spent the last decade building commonality into the server family with the specific goal of simplifying management and maintenance, while reducing cost and complexity. ImageWatch? ? Dell provides a road map of upcoming software changes, allowing HR to better plan updates. Block updates ? By delivering scheduled changes, Dell can help minimize the number of updates HR makes each year. Image commonality ? By reducing the number of overall images in the Dell PowerEdge server line, Dell has reduced the time required for image maintenance. Component commonality ? The Dell PowerEdge Server Family share common components (memory, hard drives, management cards and more), which help improve efficiency during build and servicing. Management commonality ? Dell PowerEdge Servers are managed through a common interface to help maximize efficiency and streamline management. Dell OpenManage is provided with ALL Dell systems at no extra cost. OpenManage provides one management interface for hardware, software, and operating systems. Dell tracks configurations of every product down to the component level, which allows Dell to quickly and easily analyze product performance and take corrective action when needed. Dell provides investment protection when migrating to future Blade Server architectures (ie, going from PowerEdge 1855 to PowerEdge 1955). Dell advocates use of industry-standard resource management software where competitors are proprietary (customer lock-in) and expensive. Human Resources strive to maintain a single point of accountability, with common network and systems management tools compatible with current equipment. The existing IT infrastructure has been developed utilizing an architecture based on a Dell sourced platform. To promote an overall lower Total Cost of Ownership, this procurement should be considered incremental to the existing infrastructure. Utilizing Dell for these additional enterprise products and services will provide continuity and single point of contact responsibility for the overall infrastructure. Having Dell as the single vendor for the entire enterprise mix of servers and storage products, including software, provides a clear escalation path and resolution of all issues to maintain critical systems. Dell Systems Management provides a single tool to manage and monitor the entire enterprise of servers and storage products.
