WMO is in collaboration with The Fiji Meteorological Service (FMS) and Indonesian Agency for Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysics (BMKG) carried out a project to setup our first Numerical Weather Prediction system using High Performance Computing. This was implemented under the CREWS project. That project was a success with FMS having access to high-resolution Numerical Weather Prediction Storage Expansion (NWP) data for Fiji and the region. The NWP data is available on our website for public access, and it is also used by Forecasters to carry out analysis. The current NWP Infrastructure can only accommodate 5 months of Data. FMS would like to have at least 1 year of data for analysis and other work. The current NWP Infrastructure accommodates 25TB of data. The Expansion requested for NWP storage will need to be at least 100TB so we can archive more process data for long-term analysis and trends. Our website is currently hosted on Shared Host in a Virtual Environment. The Shared Host is running out of resources. Since we are planning to upgrade our website, we are also looking at upgrading our Web Server environment in a DR environment to ensure that we have redundancy of our web server system. The primary objectives of this procurement are to: Supply and Setup Hardware Infrastructure to host Disaster Ready Web Server platform for Fiji Meteorological Service. Supply and set up the Numerical Weather Prediction Storage (NWP) to archive at least a year of NWP data.
