Can you please verify these two server blades are going to be fully configured and if they are what is the configuration they are looking for (raid etc.)? Answer: To clarify, these are not two server blades. These are two Blade Farms that are fully configured. As listed in the specifications, items that contains 6 blade servers each, that contains fully shared and raided drives accessible to ALL of the blades in the unit. 12. Are you looking for 2 completed fully intergraded Intel Modular Server (IMS).? Answer: yes 13. Each Complete IMS must have 4 PSU instant of 2 PSU. If one fails the other will take the place (redundancy) Answer: Yes, minimum 3 PSUs to power full pillar, with 1 failover (we requested 5 for each pillar (giving us one for a spare). 14. Each Complete (Fully integrated )IMS must have 2x Storage Controller. If one fails the other will take the place (redundancy) Answer: Correct 15. Each complete (Fully intergraded) IMS must have 2x Ethernet Switch Module. If one fails the other will take the place (Redundancy) Answer: Correct 16. When reviewing your request, the PSU only need 2 , the Ethernet Switch only have 1 (which included) and 1x Storage Controller (which is included), when you have a fully completed (6 compute modules) it requires all the redundancy. Answer: 4 PSUs are required per blade farm, plus one as a "hot" back-up in case for failure for a total of 5 PSUs for each of the 2 blade farms requested. See lines 3 and 9 under (vi) of the RFQ. The rest is correct.
