Technical Requirements

SECTION – I


__________________________________________________________________________________


1 Section I – Annexure

1.1 Annexure I – Technical Requirements

The bidders can propose appropriate industry standard products & solutions for the

components required for implementation of the Andaman and Nicobar Island State

Data Centre Project. It is to be noted that SOVTECH may procure all /part of the

Infrastructure requirements/services as specified in the RFP. It is not binding on the

SOVTECH to procure all the infrastructure/services from the same organization and

at the time of signing the contract. Based on the IT Solution implementation roadmap

of the State Government Departments, SOVTECH may procure / implement the

infrastructure/services as sought under this RFP in phased manner.

1.1.1 SDC Architecture – IT

Figure1: A typical SDC architecture is being depicted in the schematic


__________________________________________________________________________________


Design Description

• At SDC, a Gigabit Ethernet link from SWAN through VSAT (at SHQ located in

the same premises) will be connected to the L3 switch.

• It should be also noted that, SWAN would also be carrier for CSC information

or dataflow between the citizens / users (Departments/ Offices) and the SDC.

This link would be the bridge between the Intranets i.e. SWAN users and

SDC environment.

• Firewalls would provide layer of protection between the internet traffic and

Intrusion Prevention system (IPS).

• Intrusion Prevention system should detect malicious traffic and further protect

the SDC environment;

• Intrusion system would also detect (and prevent) any intrusion from

Internet/extranet network.

• All the servers would be connected to high capacity LAN Switch, which can

process million of packets within seconds, depending on the users and

application and its contents.

• The application servers would be accessing the database from the backend in

order to process the user / citizens queries/requests.

• The Database servers (RDBMS) are further hosted in higher security layer,

comprising of components such as Firewall and Intrusion Prevention system.

• The SDC provides Infrastructure Services such as Firewall Service, Directory

Service, Web Service, Database Service and data storage services etc. which

would be shared among all the applications / departments participating in the

SDC. Using these services, the SDC ensures centralized delivery of citizen /

departmental services. The SDC services would be deployed as components

and therefore will have a potential for re-use in launching future services,

without disturbing the existing architecture.

• For Securing the SDC, the Intrusion prevention systems shall carryout state-

full inspection and multiple layers of Firewalls shall manage the access

control. At the same time more specific content level scanning products like

Anti-Spam should be provisioned at appropriate points to ensure content level

scanning, blocking and access.


__________________________________________________________________________________


• In this secure infrastructure it has to be ensured that the security devices in

the network such as Firewalls are in high-availability mode, and these devices

should be even distributed to optimize performance.

• Another key consideration should be done for hosting the Legacy

applications. SG has to migrate / port the applications to n tier architecture,

which would be provided using SDC.

1.1.2 Bill of Material

Following includes the Bill of Material for the State Data Center for Government of

Andaman and Nicobar Island. The specifications of the components listed below are

provided in the later sections of the RFP. The bidder shall provide the quotation for

unit prices for the following components in the commercial bid. However for overall

commercial evaluation, the quantities indicated in the table below shall be

considered. At the time actual implementation, based on the requirements, the

number of servers may be increased / decreased by the SOVTECH. It is the

responsibility of bidder to provide the recommendations to the SOVTECH as to how

many servers would be required to be implemented in the SDC as per the SIA’s

assessment at the time of implementation of the SDC. Also the solution offered by

2.1 Layout of the Data Centre


__________________________________________________________________________________


In the schematic above, entire SDC area is logically divided in Zones based MIT

guidelines. Each of these zones are having different objective described further in

this section. The respective area of each zone would actually vary, primarily on the

basis of number of applications and size of the State.

a. Zone A – The Server Farm area of around 446 sq.ft. with Fire Exit would host

servers, Server racks, storage racks and Networking component etc. The DC

shall be built to cater an average load of 5 KVA per rack. And for high end

equipments and server it is build to cater 10 KVA per rack.

b. Zone B – Comprises of Helpdesk Area, BMS Room, Staging Room, Project

Manager Room, Foyer Area, and Security/ Passage Area.

c. Zone C – Comprises of UPS Room, Electrical Area and Hub/ NOC Room

d. Zone D – Passage Area

A detailed description of key areas of SDC is given below:

• Server Farm Area

The server farm area of 446 sq.ft. with Fire Exit within the SDC will host / co-locate

State Government Intranet Web Servers, and various Departmental Application

Servers including the Database Servers. These servers may be Low end to High-end

depending upon the applications hosted on them. These servers may be online or

only for repository purpose. The applications which are running on the central-

computing servers will have load balancing and high availability features.

This area will host the Security components. The security architecture will provide

controlled access to the web and database servers from Internet and other networks.

This would be multi-layer architecture with two layers of firewall separating the

Internet, web, and database/application and Intranet zones.

The electrical area would be separated from the server room section by a grill

partition with higher perforation along with stainless steel bars to prevent unwanted

access control from electrical service area to server area. This would also ensure

optimum cooling in the server farm area.

• Staging Room

The staging area is around 90 sq.ft and. will be used for the initial configuration/

testing/ unpacking of server, network equipment and testing of application before the


__________________________________________________________________________________


final installation in the server farm area. This are will be hosted with an access switch

and staging server.

• Battery and UPS Room

This area with 141 sq. ft. shall house all the Un-Interrupted Power Supply Units to

feed the components such as PAC, UPS, lighting, fixtures etc. This area shall house

all the Batteries accompanying the UPS components. As these components generate

good amount of radiation it is advised to house these components in a room separate

from main SDC room.

• Electrical Area

This area with around 160 sq. ft. shall house all the Main Power Distribution Units

(PDU) and Sub Distribution Units to feed the components such as PAC, UPS,

lighting, fixtures etc. It is recommended to install transformer based PDUs in the

State Data Centre.

• NOC Room/ Hub

This area of around 135 sq ft. will contain all the networking components from

routers, switches to passive components. The data communication component area

will terminate SWAN connections, LAN Connections and host a network monitoring

station for LAN & WAN. All the Data Center LAN connections will be provided

through switches placed in this area.

• BMS/ Control/ Help Desk

The Building Management System (BMS) room is around 147 sq.ft. and shall house

all the panels for the BMS components including Closed Circuit Television, LCD

screens, Fire Detection & Suppression System, Access Control, Fire Alarm, and Fire

Suppression Cylinders etc.

• Project Manager Room

This room with around 119 sq.ft. shall be used by the Project In-charge / Project

Manager responsible for the overall delivery of the State Data Centre Project.


__________________________________________________________________________________


• Storage Room

The storage area present on SDC floor for polytechnic use would be utilized for

storing all backed up Digital Linear Tapes (DLT) require for the data center and

hence has not been shown in SDC area. The area of the designated storage room on

the SDC floor is approx. 193 sq. ft. Since it is outside the SDC area adequate

security measures have been undertaken in terms of biometric based entry along

with the normal physical security present at the entrance of the building.

• Reception & Security Area

The Security and Reception Area present in the ground floor of the polytechnic

building shall be used for the external visitors to the State Data Centre. Also there is

a plan of creating a glass enclosure in the approach passage to the SDC area, which

can be used as a waiting room for SDC visitors.

• Others

Further SIA (Sovtech) has enough space in the SDC premise for the following items:

• Battery room on the ground floor of SDC building

• PAC outdoor units,

• DG sets,

• Diesel Storing,

• Earth pits,

• Water source.

__________________________________________________________________________________


For Proper and uninterrupted working of Data Centre, supply of clean and

uninterrupted power is essential. This can be ensured by having the Data Centre

Power distribution system with redundancy at three levels, as follows:

• Two Incoming HT feeder supply from different substations. Even if one feeder is

down, the other one keeps power available.

• Emergency Diesel-Generator backup on Mains failure of both the feeders.

2.1.2 Humidity, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems

The SDC should be precision environment controlled. The temperature inside Server

Farm area should be maintained at 20 degree centigrade with a precision of ± 2

degrees. The Precision Air Conditioning shall be provided for the Server Farm with

around 446 sq.ft. area with necessary enhancements of cooling capacity in future in

terms of additional indoor and outdoor units. The bidder should plan the location of

such additional indoor and outdoor units. Bidder should also plan the location of such

additional units in the area and lay additional conduits (including associated civil /

electrical works) between locations of these additional indoor units and outdoor units,

lay additional electrical cable & outlets so as to have other infrastructure ready for

deploying additional indoor and outdoor units at a future date. Air Conditioning should

be ensured to the extent of 99.749%. It is suggested to provide air supply typically

through false flooring.

2.1.2.1 Air Conditioning

Since Zone A is a critical area, a separate air conditioning system (precision

air conditioning) should be exclusively installed to maintain the required

temperature for Zone A. Zone B & C can have a common air conditioning system

for comfort. The general requirements for the two zones are as specified below:

• Zone A – should be provided with precision air conditioning on a 24 x 7 x 365

days operating basis at least meeting with Tier – II having n + 1 redundancy

architecture requirements and having enough provision to scale it to next level as

may be required in a later stage. The units should be able to switch the air

conditioner on and off automatically and alternately for effective usage in pre

defined sequence. The units should be down-flow fashion, air-cooled conditioning

system. Precision Air Conditioning systems specifically designed for stringent

environmental Control with automatic monitoring and control of

cooling, heating, humidification, dehumidification and air filtration function

should be installed.

• Zone B/C: Zone B/C should be provided with split-type comfort air-cooled

system (at least meeting with Tier - II architecture requirements). Help desk

and NOC area should have a separate AC system, so that AC units can be

switched off whenever required.


__________________________________________________________________________________


2.1.2.2 Natural Convection

As the conditioned air is supplied through the grills with volume control dampers on

the floor, the cold air-cools the component in a much faster and efficient manner as it

does moves up, after extracting heat from the component. This follows the natural

convection path of the air. The warm air should be sucked at the top by machine, air-

conditioned and then supplied back to the room.

2.1.2.3 Air Distribution

The air is to be distributed evenly by providing grills with VCDs (Volume Control

Dampers) in the floor tiles.

2.1.2.4 Flexibility

The system should give the flexibility of discharging air at wherever point required

even if the furniture is relocated. Changing the grill/tiles carrying grills, at suitable

location does this.

having an asbestos roof, DCO would be required to provide a 2nd layer of false-

roofing with gypsum to ensure effective cooling. SIA would be required to ensure


__________________________________________________________________________________


proper roof treatment to prevent water leakage before handing over the site to DCO.

DCO would be required to perform the following as part of civil work for 2nd layer of

false-roofing:

• Gypsum False Ceiling : Providing and fixing suspended gypsum board false

ceiling as per drawing comprising of G.I.Channel grid type framework, gypsum

boards, paper tape, gypsum putty and cutouts for light fittings, A/C grills, Fire

Alarm accessories. The ceiling is to be installed by suspending the G.I.hangers

from the existing ceiling by means of anchor fasteners. G.I. ”L“ angle perimeter

channel shall be installed along the peripheral walls of the rooms. The framework

comprising of G.I.sections is then fastened to the hanger suspenders and the

perimeter channels by means of G.I. spring type fasteners. The gypsum board

panels 12mm thick are secured on to bottom of the frame work by means of

screws. The areas which need to be cut out for lights, a/c grills etc. are marked

and cut out to happen. The joint between the boards are to be finished with paper

tape and the entire cutting is to be leveled and smoothened by means of applying

and sanding down of gypsum filler applied on it. When the surface is prepared

color to be applied.

2.1.5 UPS Requirements & Features

UPS System design concept is based on redundancy and availability with true online

system. Andaman being a small state, UPS would be installed to better optimize

power requirements. The Zone A area should have two parallel redundant UPS and

other areas like NOC, BMS and Staging Area should have a separate UPS system.

Dual redundant UPS systems will take care of following needs –

• Servers

• Access Control / Fire Detection, suppression / surveillance system

The solution should be automatic with power supply from the transformer

as the primary source and automatic switchover to DG set as a secondary

source for the data centre. Earthing should be provided from the electrical room

control panel to the Earthing pits.

It is recommended to have 2 x 50 KVA UPS with minimum of 20 minutes battery

back-up on each UPS for redundant purpose. The UPS system shall be provided for

the Server Farm Phase with a capacity to accommodate 10 racks in an area of 446

sq.ft. This should be as per N+N redundancy requirement of Tier II data center.


__________________________________________________________________________________


It is also recommended to have 2 x 18 KVA UPS with a minimum of 15 minutes

battery back-up for provisioning of the power to the BMS Room, Staging Area and

NOC & Helpdesk Area.

UPS Modes of Operation

• The UPS shall operate as an ON LINE reverse transfer system in the

following modes:

o Normal - The UPS inverter continuously supplies the critical AC load. The

rectifier / charger derives power from AC Input source and supplies DC

power to the Inverter while simultaneously load charging power reserve

battery.

o Emergency (Failure of AC Input) – Upon failure of AC Input power, the

critical AC load will be supplied by the Inverter, which without any

switching obtains power from the battery. There shall be no interruption in

power to the critical load upon failure or restoration of the AC input

source.

o Recharge – Upon AC power restoration the rectifier / charger shall

automatically restart and supply power to the inverter and start charging

the batteries.

o Bypass – A static transfer switch should be provided for performing

reverse transfer of the load from the inverter to bypass source with no

interruption in the power to the critical AC load. A manually operated

maintenance bypass switch should be incorporated into UPS cabinet that

will connect the load to AC power source bypassing the rectifier charger

inverter and static transfer switch. The battery circuit breaker MCCB shall

have O/L and U/V protection. The UPS shall have built in isolation

transformer in order to isolate neutral of incoming supply from the load.

The load has to be provided separate neutral generated by the secondary

winding of output isolation transformer.

o Paralleling Operations: The output of all the UPS systems should be

directly connected at the load distribution panel through individual circuit

breakers (part of the distribution panel). The load at the output should be

shared equally by all the UPS systems. The paralleling control mechanism
