The solution must meet the following requirements:
Capable of addressing three (3) million IP addresses, comprising of 1.5 million IPv4 addresses and 1.5 million IPv6 addresses;
Capable of distributing DNS/DHCP infrastructure to at minimum eleven (11) points of presence across the country to maintain regional diversity and performance requirements;
IPAM portion of the solution must be implemented as a High Availability pair;
IPAM portion solution must support addressing of both the production and development data centres.
Lab infrastructure will exist solely for the purpose of testing the DDI solution. Less than 100 nodes will comprise the lab infrastructure. The solution must meet the following lab infrastructure requirements:
Capable of being implemented in a segregated environment; such that Canada can perform various testing and/or upgrade functions outside of its core production network; and
Capable of emulating the architecture and design of the production deployment (i.e. Canada must be able to replicate any production functionality on the proposed lab infrastructure).
