LIC, at its sole discretion, may/may not accept the deviation and will evaluate the same on its merit and suitability to the specified requirement. c) The bidders who are qualified from this stage will be evaluated further based on the Technical Scoring Model Criteria mentioned below Page 1 of 5

2 TABLE Technical Scoring Model Criteria SLNO Criterion 1 Whether proposed hypervisor is present in latest available Gartner's magic quadrant for x86 virtualization infrastructure. 2 Whether proposed Hyper converged infrastructure solution is present in latest available Gartner's magic quadrant for Integrated Systems. 3 Whether proposed Backup solution is based on 'Disk-To-Disk-To-Tapes' Technology and the proposed backup solution/appliance should be in the Leaders/Challengers quadrant in the latest available relevant Gartner Magic Quadrant for Backup and Recovery Solutions. 4a Whether proposed top of rack switch is present in the latest available relevant Gartner's magic quadrant for ToR switch. 4b Whether proposed 24 port 10G SFP switch is present in the latest available relevant Gartner's magic quadrant for 10G SFP switch. Item Points Leaders 15 Challengers 10 Other Quadrants 5 Value Others[Meeting the Technical Requirements 0 for the Cloud Solution] Leaders 15 Challengers 10 Other Quadrants 5 Others[Meeting the Technical Requirements 0 for the Cloud Solution] Leaders 10 Challengers 5 Others[Other Backup solution/appliance 0 even outside the quadrant but meeting the Technical Requirements for the Cloud Solution] Leaders 5 Challengers 3 Others[Other ToR Switches even outside the 0 quadrant but meeting the Technical Requirements for the Cloud Solution] Leaders 5 Challengers 3 Others[Other 10G SFP Switches even outside the quadrant but meeting the Technical Requirements for the Cloud Solution] 0 Page 2 of 5

3 5 The proposed solution should be able to scale up by adding more capacity in terms of memory Scale up and scale out capacity 10 and disk, similarly the solution should be able to scale out by adding more nodes for increasing Scale up or scale out capacity 5 compute power and storage capacity. 6 Average Turnover for the last 3 Financial Years(Eligibility Criteria(EC) Rs 50 Cr ; EC - G.2) Turnover(>200 Cr) 10 Turnover( Cr) 5 7 Partnership with OEM(Minimum 1 Year ; EC G.5) >1 Yr 5 1 Yr 3 8 References of proposed Solution implementation in India(Minimum 2 References required ; EC >2 Ref 5 G.6) 2 Ref 3 9 Total Purchase Order(Rs 10 Cr from minimum 2 implementations ; EC - G.6) >20 Cr 5 10 Ratings given by the reference companies, where similar HCI/Virtualization/Integrated Systems/Cloud Solution was implemented successfully by the bidder/oem. The references of only BFSI/Government departments/psu companies/corporates(turnover > Rs 200 Cr) will be considered, where at least, three nodes are configured at two different sites working as DC-DR. There should be atleast 2 or more such references. The average of all references will be taken for consideration Cr 3 Very Good Rating 15 Good Rating 10 Average Rating 5 d) In the table mentioned above, Points 1 to 5 are Technical related and 6 to 10 are Eligibility related. IMP NOTE : The SLNOs 5 to 9 are Eligibility related points and the bidder has to ensure the minimum qualifying criteria which are already specified in Clause G Eligibility Criteria and subsequent Corrigenda. The SLNO 10 is mandatory for all bidders and they have to comply with the requirement by way of Official Letter/ from the Referenced Company which must mention the rating( Very Good / Good / Average ) obtained by the bidder/oem. The ratings given by the companies whose Purchase Order References are shown by the bidder are also valid. Such ratings for all mentioned references must have been obtained within the last 3 years, ie, , , e) The top 5 bidders scoring at least 60 marks will be eligible for POC. However, if required, LIC may, at its sole discretion, relax this condition to ensure atleast 2 DISTINCT Solution Stacks(set of same components, ie, Virtualization Software, HCI, Backup Solution, Cloud Orchestration Software) are available for POC. Page 3 of 5

4 f) POC shall be conducted for the eligible solution stacks as mentioned above and as per the POC criteria, but not limited to, the objectives mentioned in the table given below - TABLE POC Criteria SLNO POC Criterion to be demonstrated by the bidder(in LIC/Bidder/OEM premises) Pass / Fail 1 Setting up the two nodes of Cloud as DC and two nodes as DR. The network bandwidth needs to be throttled to simulate the DC-DR setup. 2 Migration of sample physical workload(remote and local) to virtual and demonstrate successful working of the original workload on the virtual setup. 3 Deploy Cloud management portal and demonstrate provisioning of resources. 4 Testing high availability of running database VM by removing network cable, Demonstrate VM motion from one node to other without any data loss. 5 Testing Disaster recovery management by stopping DC set of VM s and transferring user load from DC to DR set of VM s. 6 Testing full database backup. 7 Demonstrate active monitoring of VM s by single management interface. 8 Addition/deletion of CPU, memory and disk to running VM. 9 Demonstrate patch deployment of web and app VM s without taking downtime. 10 Demonstrate role-based workflow creation from requisition of resource to disposal. g) All the objectives mentioned above(but not limited to) should be successfully achieved and demonstrated before the Technical team from LIC to become eligible for Commercial Evaluation. h) All bidders quoting a particular Solution Stack whose POC has been declared successful by the Technical team from LIC, shall become eligible for Commercial Evaluation. In case, the POC of a particular Solution Stack is declared unsuccessful, all bidders quoting that Solution Stack shall be declared Page 4 of 5

5 ineligible and shall not be allowed to participate in the next stage of Evaluation. i) It is the responsibility of the bidder/oem to ensure that the particular Solution Stack quoted by them works seamlessly in the LIC DC environment as per the requirements specified in the RFP document and is successfully integrated into the existing eco-system including, but not limited to, the network, security environment, various regulatory compliances, etc. Notwithstanding the above, LIC s decision will be final and binding on the bidders. 3. Commercial Bid Evaluation: Commercial Bid Opening and ORA: a) The Commercial opening will be done for the bidders declared successful after the Technical Bid Evaluation and POC. The rules of the ORA will be shared with the eligible bidders subsequently after the opening of the Commercial Bid for the Online Reverse Auction process(tco basis). Clarifications SLNO RFP Clause Request to consider Remarks 1 Intel based processor(launched not older than 1 year from the date of RFP) [Technical Spec point-5]. 2 Request for Change in Eligibility/Commercial/Technical queries(not mentioned above). Can I quote higher processor. Seeking relaxation on these queries. Yes. It should conform/exceed the minimum criteria specified in the RFP clause. No change. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (IT/BPR) Page 5 of 5
