D) Full HP warranties will be provided and none of these products will have a negative impact on the warranties of associated system components. This Justification and Approval (J&A) on a brand name only basis is for the acquisition of HP ProLiant DL380 G5 servers. The use of a brand name description is essential to the Government?s requirements, for Department of State infrastructure connectivity requirements, thereby precluding consideration of the products of another company. The HP ProLiant DL380 G5 servers have been identified as key components of the Department?s networking system, with the optimal configurations to meet CA/CST/TI?s IV&V projects needs. These servers will be used for production readiness and performance testing of CA software systems using high-end performance testing software provided through IBM-Rational. Therefore, the specs presented herein as recommended by IBM-Rational, must be met or exceeded in order to support the 10,000-user test bed in stress and load testing scenarios. Failure to met or exceed the specifications would limit software testing, which could lead to failure of fielded CA software during periods of international crisis. The HP DL380 G5 servers meet the following project requirements above and beyond other tested server options. The 41 USC 253(c)(1), and FAR 6.302-1 are cited at the statutory authority.As this is a brand name only justification, no one contractor?s unique qualifications are cited as the basis for this justification. Rather, the products identified by brand name herein have been determined to be the only items that meet the Department?s requirements as a key component of the Department?s networking system. CA/CST has selected the HP ProLiant DL380 G5 servers because results obtain by the Bureau?s System Engineering Task Team in tests and reviews of other manufacturers? servers indicated that these most closely met the DoS?s processing, redundancy, and management requirements. The requested servers will be deployed at a DoS facility which has established an environment comprised of HP equipment in the interest of overall cost economy, reliability, and ease of administration. The continued use of HP servers eliminates the need to procure, maintain, and account for spare part inventories for multiple HW manufacturers? server configurations or to manage multiple vendors? yearly support and maintenance agreements. The HP ProLiant DL380 G5 servers have been evaluated and approved by the Bureau of Consular Affairs? Configuration Control Board and will be added to the Consular HW Baseline. The HP DL380 G5 servers have undergone test and assessment and received final approval from the Department of State IT Configuration Control Board.
