Hypervisor options can be proposed and should be costed accordingly per site\. Microsoft licensing is outside scope of this project\. There are 10 sites in total connected via a 1GB link to the main production site\. Connectivity to network should be 1GB or 10G SFP\+\. With centralised virtualisation comes the need to ensure reliability and availability, even in the event of hardware failure or during periods of maintenance, updates\.
