On November 1, 2023, the State Budgetary Institution (GBU) of Moscow "Ritual" launched a tender for the purchase of a software and hardware complex (PAC) for data backup. The funeral home is ready to spend 280 million rubles on the implementation of this project.

As CNews writes with reference to materials on the public procurement website, the purchased system should include:

• six compute modules;
• One alarm copy storage
• Three storage modules for databases and additional objects
• four modules of interaction between functional units;
• two power supply protection modules;
• software.

Ritual launched a tender for the purchase of a software and hardware complex for backing up data

According to the customer's requirements, all components of the PC must support Windows and Linux operating systems. Also, the database storage module must be compatible with Windows, Linux, Oracle and Mac OS systems. The winner of the competition is scheduled to be determined by November 13, 2023.

It is assumed that Ritual is purchasing PAC for emergency database rescue as part of the digital cemetery project. For its implementation, the GBU planned to form an electronic database with data and photos of each burial. All data obtained must be entered into the Unified Automated System of the Funeral Industry of the City (EAS "Ritual"). It was also planned to make an electronic map for cemeteries. 243.2 million rubles were allocated for this.

CNews assumes that the hardware and software complex that is going to purchase the Ritual GBU is necessary to ensure this goal. As part of the previous purchase, electronic mapping and digitalization of tombstones in 18 cemeteries of the capital and the Moscow region was provided for cemeteries, which in total amounts to more than 800 thousand graves and 1.6 million dead people, the newspaper notes.^[1]
