1 Item Number 1 2 Vendor Question Are you already requesting this information from the manufactures directly? What if one manufacture can do some of what you need, and another can do the other part of what you need? Is that expectable? The RFI was to open to the public. FIU Response What is the budget and timeline for deployment of this cloud base services? List of the application which FIU have termed as web along with the number of users for all the application mentioned in the RFI. IS FIU wanting vendor responses to be specific to IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)? Or should responses include PaaS and SaaS also? This is an RFI and not a RFQ or ITN. Information gathered will lead to possible RFQ/ITN. The critical web applications are the following: PeopleSoft,ISIM,SharePoint,General Web Hosting (IIS Apache) and various Enterprise level Web based applications. The estimated number of users for the above is 55K (Students), 10K (Faculty,Staff) and 10K (Misc Users (Alumni,Vendors,Future Students). For a total of 75K This is a general RFI for all proposed solutions. 6 7 Is there a requirement for the Cloud Services provider to support the PeopleSoft application also? If so, please provide sizing and support requirements. What is the approximate size of the Oracle database? It is not a requirement but should offered if available. 2 Terabytes (Production instance) Multiple copies of Production used for test,dev and reporting (in excess of 30 Terabytes) 8 Are there other applications that you envision may move to the cloud over time besides Oracle/Peoplesoft? Do these other applications have different architectures? 9 Should this question be answered with respect to Cloud IaaS or are there other models of Cloud that should be discussed such as SaaS For all services. and PaaS? 10 Does FIU want the cloud provider to provide support through the application layer for applications, database and web besides just infrastructure (network, servers, storage) support? Does FIU desire a All options. fully managed service for those functions moved to the cloud? Or is FIU interested in hearing about all such options? Please provide a brief description on how FIU conducts its DR tests Depends on the system. There are simulation testing where failover is conducted as well as tabletop exercises. Simulated DR tests are performed on production 11 and what would be expected of the Cloud Services provider environments using various failover methods from FIU's production site to its current DR site (geographically different from its production site). Peoplesoft test are conducted twice a year. Other system, at least once per year. These tests may or may not be performed concurrently. The expectation is that the Cloud Services provider to offer similar resources to fullfill the above testing schedule. 12 How many applications are tested? We have tested about 5 10 critical applications. Our goal is to test all 122 environments within the next year or so. 13 What types of applications are they (please provide names) Some of our critical applications are PeopleSoft,ISIM,SharePoint,ImageNow, General Web Hosting (IIS Apache),various Enterprise level Web based applications, and Centralized Authentication platforms to name a few. 14 How many data centers are included in the testing? Or are they tested 2 Data Centers. One in Miami and the other in Tallahasse. only campus wide? 15 How many times per year are the test performed (monthly, quarterly, semi annually) Semi annual at minimum 16 Is FIU looking for the Cloud provider to maintain and patch Oracle? If you offer the ability to maintain/patch Oracle please describe. Does FIU own the Oracle licenses? FIU currently owns Oracle licenses for its environments.
