Writing an RFP for the acquisition of HPC hardware is a painstaking process for which there often is no clear-cut template for success. This panel discussion features vendors and university faculty who share their successes and failures in the RFP process. Find out what questions you need to ask of your datacenter and purchasing departments as well as what technical information you need to gather before you start writing the RFP. Panelists will also discuss setting a realistic timeline and scoring vendor responses. Sharing of best practices for researching and writing proposals will culminate in a question-and-answer session.
