Overview

Ara Institute of Canterbury (Ara), a current business division of Te Pūkenga, is seeking to replace its existing Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Backup as a Service (BaaS) solutions. We are looking for proposals that fall into one of two categories:
1. Capital-purchased hardware replacement co-managed with a solutions provider or vendor.
2. A subscription service where the hardware is "on-premises” and the service is paid for on a CPU, Memory, and Storage basis or a similar construct.
The new BaaS solution must support the chosen IaaS replacement and on-premises workloads, providing a comprehensive, full-service solution.
