It must be able to expand to up to three networks with addition of routed enclaves as required. The solution shall scale from 8 users per network to 20 users per network via the addition of switch modules. The solution shall support VOIP, VOSIP, and data on each network. System must support at least 40 Mbps of routed IP traffic and IPsec virtual private network (VPN) in each router. The system shall provide PoE capability for each network and switch module as required. Total PoE load is not to exceed 75W. The Common Electronics Module shall include an integrated server platform that is capable of utilizing VMware to simultaneously host; Network Management Softare (NMS), Riverbed Virtual Steelhead with Fail to Wire, and Cisco CUCM 8.6 (50 users). The Common Electronics Modules shall contain an integrated hardware Fail to Wire capability to work in conjunction with the Riverbed Virtual Steelhead to enable by-pass in the event of a hardware or software failure. For IA reasons all servers must utilize user removable solid state storage. Routers shall have a user accessible zeroize function. At a minimum this function will ensure that each bit in memory is set to zero and set to one at least once. The solution must include NMS capable of providing real time dashboard status displays for all network devices in the kit: up/down state red light / green light, WAN/LAN bandwidth utilization, back-up and restore configuration with auto back-up prior to any configuration change, easy to use wizards, open / shut ports on the Cisco 5915 router, and Cisco Switch. The equipment management software shall include a transmission page, diagnostics, and password management. The solution shall be compatible with any IP enabled back haul communication vector.
