AI Contract Overview
Shared Services Canada is issuing a Request for Information under solicitation number BPM024530 to modernize and diversify its data center networking infrastructure. The primary objective of this initiative is to implement a multi-vendor strategy for routing and switching, reducing dependence on any single provider by adopting interoperable, standards-based solutions that can function within a heterogeneous environment. This evolution focuses on enhancing the network architecture across multiple data centers, specifically EDC 1, 2, 3, and 4, to ensure robust connectivity to the Internet, GC WAN, and partner networks. The technical scope includes a rigorous set of mandatory requirements centered on a Spine-Leaf architecture, micro-segmentation, and the ability to span VRFs and subnets across various data halls. Key priorities include the integration of L2/L3 security appliances, the management of East-West and North-South zone firewalls, and seamless connectivity between compute leafs and border leafs. Through this RFI, the Government of Canada is seeking industry insights on operational challenges, business continuity, innovation, and the alignment of networking solutions with socio-economic priorities and greening government initiatives.
