- Description
- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY TO PREQUALIFY VENDORS. THIS IS NOT A FORMAL REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP). The United States Senate Office of the Sergeant at Arms (SAA) requires technical services for post production support of the Senate Recording Studio (SRS) server system. The SRS Server System is a mission critical system that is used to ingest, playback, edit, and archive most of the content produced by the SRS. The SRS Server System is a highly integrated system comprising hardware and software products supplied by several companies. The SRS is seeking support services under this Contract that bridge the support services from the individual companies for their respective products that constitute the SRS Server System. The companies supporting the SRS Server System are listed in the Requirements Section below. REQUIREMENTS This project is limited to services related to support requests concerning the SRS Server System. The Contractor must have hands on experience with each of the third party vendors listed below and experience with systems that have integrated the listed hardware and software systems. Below is a summary of the major products and systems from third party vendors and manufacturers which are integrated within the SRS Server System. Trans Media Dynamics (TMD) TMD serves as the central point of control and management for the entire Server System. TMD acts as the media asset management (MAM) system for the SRS. At the core of this MAM is a customized and robust Oracle database, to track all assets as they move through the system. TMD controls the movement of assets from the time they enter the system to being moved to archive. TMD also provides a custom interface to the Browser Services, using the IPV platform of software and hardware. Omneon The on-line storage consists of the Omneon Spectrum storage system. The Spectrum provides the central storage repository for all content ingested to the MAM system.

Using Front Porch Digital Diva Archive software, data and content is moved from the Omneon Spectrum Storage to the Archive System's Sony PetaSite tape library on set schedules, and requests. This workflow relies on tight integration between the MAM system and Front Porch Digital to move, restore and archive content in the SRS Server System.
