4 Executive Summary and Company Background RFP Hardware Infrastructure Hosting Since 2005, Los Angeles Universal Preschool ( LAUP ) has supported the operation and/or development of more than 325 preschools in Los Angeles County, touching the lives of more than 50,000 children through enriching curricula and nurturing environments aimed to best prepare children to succeed in kindergarten and beyond. Primarily funded by First 5 Los Angeles, LAUP s mission is to provide high-quality preschool for all four-year-old children in Los Angeles County. LAUP believe all children deserve the best start in life, and a quality preschool education provides all children the springboard to success. LAUP funds more than 300 preschools, including public, private, religious, as well as community and familybased sites. LAUP offers many services to our network of preschools, including classroom and fiscal coaching, mentoring, as well as helping to foster parent involvement in their child s education. LAUP is a non-profit organization created to provide accessible and affordable preschool for all four-year-old children in Los Angeles County. To date, LAUP has served tens of thousands of children and their families. Our goal is to make high-quality preschool education universally available to all four-year-olds countywide.

5 Summary Overview of Request for Proposal (RFP) and Services Requested This RFP is requesting that providers submit responses that include services and support relating to production hardware infrastructure hosting for LAUP. Los Angeles Universal Preschool ( LAUP ) is looking to move their existing data center infrastructure to a hosted facility in which some of LAUP s equipment will remain in production and legacy equipment is to be migrated onto hosted hardware. This hybrid hosting model will ensure LAUP can continue to benefit from hardware investments made through the remaining life cycle of the equipment. LAUP currently manages and maintains their datacenter infrastructure in-house in its corporate headquarters; 888 S. Figueroa Los Angeles CA. Conditions exist where power and cooling provided by the building is unpredictable due to the nature of the building s routine maintenance schedule of their safety systems. This affects LAUP s ability to provide optimal availability to systems within the data center. LAUP s core server infrastructure runs on HP Blade & Hitachi AMS SAN technology. Infrastructure is 100% virtual using VMware and Citrix at the Hypervisor Layer. High availability, load balancing and redundancy are fully implemented and must exist in the proposed solution. A proper solution would require the service provider to support and integrate their hosting model into our existing infrastructure. As LAUP equipment reaches end of life or capacity the hosted model must supplement or replace affected equipment. LAUP is looking at a hybrid hosting model with multiple areas of services; Hosting Services, Managed Co-Location, Managed Hosting Services, Managed Cloud Services, Professional Services. LAUP Reserves the right to select a single or multiple vendors for the different services being requested. Vendors are encouraged to submit proposals for one or all of the services required listed on this RFP. Print Date: June 20, 2013 Page 5 of 12

10 Updates / Clarification Sumary 6/19/2013 Questions and feedback from the majority of participating recipients have prompted for clarification to several sections of this RFP. This update is to clarify those concerns and as a result LAUP will extend the timeline of the RFP by one week. Updates are shown in bold in the RFP. Outline of changes and clarifications Timeline extended one week. Correction: LAUP servers that will remain are: HP BL460 G7 Qty: 4 Overland Tape library is used for archiving of monthly data backups to tape. You can provide an alternate method for archiving of monthly data backups. Tapes will be shipped to offsite vendor such as Recall or Iron Mountain for permanent archiving and storage. Qty and Specifications of hosted servers to be determined by the resoruces needed to support the infrastructure currently on end of life servers. Summary from VMware: Print Date: June 20, 2013 Page 10 of 12

11 Hithachi Storage Breakdown: Highlited groups to be migrated: Yellow=SATA Brown=SAS Non-highligted groups are to remain on the Hitachi until end of life or capacity is reached. Managed hosting of storage is assumed that backups are handled by the provider. DR on the other hand is not an expectation for this proposal. Managed Sharepoint and Exchange are a Phase II project. For purposes of this RFP a cost per user is all that is required.
