BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION 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 Server has been identified as a key component of the Department?s networking system, with the optimal server configuration to meet A/EX/IRM?s Network Lifecycle Replacement project needs. The HP DL380 G5 server and components meet the following project requirements above and beyond other tested server options: ? Systems need to participate in a Systems Insight Manager environment for monitoring and management ? Systems must have a visible diagnostic display indicating system hardware health ? Must accept a variety of RAID controllers from low cost/performance to high performance while preserving compatibility of the data on the disks ? Systems must use Small Form Factor (SFF) SAS drives ? Systems must use common drives and RAID controllers ? Embedded NICS must be multifunctional (i.e., provide TCP/IP offload capabilities) ? CPUs must provide virtual KVM capability to include Power Meter Data Reporting ? 2U servers must support up to 8 SAS internal drives ? Systems must have front video/USB ports ? Systems must support redundant hot-plug power supplies with independent power cords that can be plugged into independent power sources ? Systems must have an option to support the same disks both internally and externally. BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION 2 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. A/EX/IRM has selected the HP ProLiant DL380 G5 Server 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 Server has been evaluated and approved by the Bureau of Administration Configuration Control Board and will be added to the HW Baseline. The HP DL380 G5 has undergone test and assessment and received final approval from the Department of State IT Configuration Control Board.
