[DescrShort]

This is an RFI, not a call for a competition. We expect that a call for competition will take place within the next twelve to fourteen months. HEAnet plans to replace all existing datacentre network equipment. This RFI intends to invite submissions from companies/organisations, with expertise in datacentre network and security, to engage in a pre-competition process and provide information on technical options and financial estimates to replace the current network equipment in our data centres. This process is a statement of a potential Tendering process with the intention of establishing one (1) single supplier contract during the next 12 months, but is not a commitment to purchase. A response is not required to this RFI and a failure to respond does not exclude vendors from any future tendering process.
