DISK-BASED DISASTER RECOVERY SOLUTION

The County of Riverside is soliciting quotations for a disk-based disaster recovery solution to replace their current disk-to-tape backup solution. The solution should provide a primary "disk to disk" backup appliance for their primary Gateway location, with an initial configuration that can back up a minimum of 22TB for their Saturday full backup jobs and 2.5TB for their daily differential job. The solution should also provide enough expandability to eventually back up a minimum of 50TB for their Saturday full backup jobs and 10TB for their daily differential job, and still provide the ability to store 30 days' worth of backups onsite. The contract also requires the solution to integrate with their existing Quantam iScaler 6K tape backup solution. • The contract requires a disk-to-disk solution that can write primary site backup data to a secondary disaster recovery site. • The solution must provide reliability, flexibility, expandability, and usability to last for a minimum of three years. • The contract includes the purchase of various hardware and software components, including a Quantum DXi6902 disk deduplication backup appliance and a Quantum DXi4701 disk deduplication backup appliance. • The contract also includes the cost of installation, configuration, and maintenance of the solution.
