Is this for CSP or GCC agreement? Is there an existing agreement for the subscriptions? Can we have a call with a tech to ensure we quote the services correctly?

Can you clarify if the bid calls for Microsoft 365 G3 or Office 365 G3? For server licensing, can you clarify the core count the bid calls for?

Hi Team, some questions for you! • The customer put EMS for 20 qty. Can you advise if they are looking for the G3 or G5 version of the part? • Customer wants Windows Server Datacenter, but we want to make sure we are licensing them correctly. Can they advise on how many physical servers they have? How many physical processors per server? How many cores per processor? (total cores each server) • Customer can advise on number of users or devices that will connect to their Windows Server? • Customer wants SQL but can they advise if they need the standard version? As well as how many cores are on the server they are looking to license? (If more than one server then provide the number of cores for each server) - For Windows E3 does it needs to be quoted for 1000 users like they originally stated? or would your quantity would match your O365 users?

vcloud111 on 25-Jan-2024 2:43:26 PM CST

Office 365 G1, QTY: 450 Microsoft 365 G3, QTY: 350 Customer previously asked for 1000 windows 11, but with them ordering M365 G3 they get windows E3 included which includes win 11 so do they only need it for those 350 qty users? We are just trying to confirm that the other Office 365 G1 does not need Windows E3. Customer also has a listed item of Enterprise Mobility & Security- EMS, Qty 20 which is included in the M365 G3 so are they okay with what is included with M365 G3 or do they need an additional 20 qty of EMS G3? For Windows Server can they advise on how many physical servers they have? How many physical processors per server? How many cores per processor? (total cores each server) Customer can advise on number of users or devices that will connect to their Windows Server? For SQL can they advise if they need the standard version? As well as how many cores are on the server they are looking to license?

Hi All, last question. :) • When the customer states 10 Licenses with 8 cores, can they advise what they mean by "licenses"? As an example if a customer has 1 server with 2 processors and 8 physical cores per processor and only needs rights to 2 VM's then I would recommend them being licensed with a Windows Server Standard 2 core for 8qty which covers 16 cores or Windows Standard 16 core license for 1 qty which covers the 16 cores on the server. This might just be a slight miss in me trying to determine if you are stating you need a Windows Server Standard 2core license to cover up to 10 servers with 8 cores in each server, but if that is the case then please let me know as Microsoft only sells the Windows Server license as a 2 core or 16 core license. Please note that Windows Server Standard gives customer access to 2 VM’s each time they license a server. Window Server Datacenter gives customers rights to unlimited VM’s that the server can handle. • Can you advise if Windows Server Standard or Datacenter needs to be quoted?

psi_proposals on 13-Feb-2024 9:16:38 AM CST

There is a minimum of 8 cores of licensing required per physical processor and 16 cores required per server - if there are more than 16 cores on the physical server; more licenses need to be purchased. Please advise how many processors and cores there are on the server(s), as well as how many VMs you're looking to run off of the physical host(s). Can you please provide us the below details. Number of Window Server Standards 2022: Number of Processors Number of Cores per Proc Total Number of VM’s Server 1 Server 2 Server 3 Server 4 Server 5 Server 6 Number of Window Server Datacenters 2022: Number of Processors Number of Cores per Proc Total Number of VM’s Server 1 Server 2 Server 3 Server 4 Server 5 Server 6

According to the bid packet, the last day for questions was Friday, February 9th. This prevents information sent closer than 72 hours to effect bid responses. Please give as much information as you feel would give the OPSO the ability to judge the best value of the responses.
