EGS provides a suite of tactical satellite command and control (C2) services to the space enterprise through an open and common platform that efficiently integrates capabilities across missions and enables a resilient enterprise ground architecture. The EGS platform service is a securely configured set of software tools and orchestration applications which enable the cyber-secure hosting of mission applications in a multi-tenant, multi-classification environment. EGS has implemented an on-premise cloud virtualized infrastructure to consolidate delivery of enterprise C2 services and documented the requirements in the attached EGS cloud technical requirements for cloud service providers. EGS uses VMware and Red Hat solutions that provide a full range of C2 services to support mission partners, including but not limited to: Military Satellite Communications (SATCOM) (e.g., Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF), Military Strategic & Tactical Relay (MILSTAR), Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS), and Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS) satellites, and Command and Control System-Consolidated (CCS-C) system); Missile Warning (e.g., Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) and Geosynchronous Non-Integrated Tactical Warning and Attack Assessment Ops Migration to EGS (GNOME) satellites, Future Operationally Resilient Ground Enterprise (FORGE) system); Environmental Monitoring (e.g., Electro-Optical Infrared Weather System (EWS) and Weather System Follow-on - Microwave (WSF-M) satellites); and Position, Navigation, and Timing (Global Positioning System (GPS) Next Generation Operational Control System (OCX)). EGS is not seeking to replace these VMware and Red Hat investments, but to assess current marketplace offerings for an alternative to augment and expand on the comprehensive and seamless integrated environments provided by VMware and Red Hat applications. A replacement must be able to provide a seamless integrated virtualization software solution equal to or greater than the capabilities provided by the current VMware and Red Hat applications without investment in additional server components or storage protocols. 3.0 Information Requested: The Government is requesting responses to the following questions from any vendor who is capable of providing on-premise enterprise cloud platform infrastructure for ground systems to meet the needs of EGS. Respondents shall, indicate which portions of its response are Intellectual Property (IP) and mark IP accordingly. Classified submittals will not be accepted. What brand(s) solution do you assert will meet the attached EGS cloud technical requirements for service providers? Is there a current implementation of a comprehensive, seamlessly integrated virtualization software solution that meet the EGS cloud technical requirements for service providers? For solutions that meet criteria a. and b. above, provide the following: A description of the overall technical solution, the environment and infrastructure in which this solution currently operates, and how the solutions meets the EGS cloud technical requirements for service providers Describe how an alternate brand solution will seamlessly integrate with EGS’s current VMware and Red Hat infrastructure Identify the organization currently operating the entire solution in a single, seamlessly integrated manner Identify all specific products used in the solution and the functions they perform Briefly describe how the integration between any modules is performed and how that integration is managed when new versions of individual products are introduced Discuss potential risk mitigation and management strategies used to eliminate operational and technical risks associated with integration of your products used in an overall complex enterprise environment that is composed of multiple vendors, especially related to those risks introduced when individual products are upgraded 4.0 Submission Details: Responses shall include a cover page with the following: Submitter’s Name and Parent Company, if applicable Business Address: Street, City, State, and Zip code Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code Unique Entity ID Company socio-economic status Point of Contact (i.e. company representative) POC Telephone number and email address Responses, in entirety, shall be limited to ten pages, single-sided.
