Description

UPDATE 1: The purpose of this update to provide answers to questions received: Question 1: Are blade servers a firm requirement? Answer 1: Yes, blade servers are required for the ""Compute Cluster"" Question 2: Is the customer really asking for a 2U server chassis with four nodes instead?� For example: 2 x AMD EPYC 7302 processors 512 GB RAM (1 or 2) x 1 TB NVMe drive (1 or 2) x 2.0 TB SATA drive 1 x 2-port 10Gb RJ45 Ethernet (1 or 2) x ConnectX-5 IB card Or just one 2U server with the appropriate quantities of components, i.e. 2 instead of 8 processors, etc. Answer 2: For the ""Compute Server"", NRL requests a 2U server chassis that houses 4 nodes, where each node contains items as outlined in the list above. The total number of processors, hard drives, IB cards, amount of RAM etc. across all 4 nodes should match what is listed in Attachment 1 - Specifications. -------------------- The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Information Technology Division, Code 5500 has a requirement for the ability to model networks at Internet scale in order to perform the most realistic evaluations possible, to obtain realistic and statistically significant results, and to make meaningful conclusions regarding the effectiveness of our communication technologies. Internet-scale simulations allow us to improve our understanding of how R&D algorithms and protocols perform on operational networks at scale before incurring the costs and risks associated with a full deployment on real Navy communication networks.�In order to meet this need, this action will procure: 1. GPU Server � Quantity 2 2. Storage Server � Quantity 1 3. Compute Cluster � Blade Enclosure (Quantity 1) and Blade Modules (Quantity 20) 4. Compute Server 5. Various System Components / Spares For additional details on the submission of quotes and specifications, please see the attached Combined Synopsis/Solicitation and Attachment 1 - Specifications. The specifications are intended to be descriptive in nature for the types of items that would meet NRL's minimum requirements, and not limit to any particular manufacturer.
