- Description
- DLA-TS VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT EXPANSION BOM DLA-Transaction Services designs, develops, and implements logistics solutions that improve customers' requisition processing and logistics management processes worldwide. The primary mission of DLA-Transaction Services is to receive, edit, and route logistics transactions for the Military Services and Federal Agencies, and provide value-added services for standard MILS transactions, such as network interoperability and logistics information services. DLA-Transaction Services is the facilitator by which the heterogeneous Service supply systems are made to function as a homogenous DoD supply system. DLA-Transaction Services receives over 6 billion DoD logistics transactions per year, applies numerous DoD level and Service/Agency edits and validations against these transactions, and then routes the data to the appropriate destination. In addition, DLA-Transaction Services generates over 1.5 billion images of logistics transactions in support of Total Asset Visibility (TAV) requirements. DLA-Transaction Services provides interoperability between many unique Service supply systems. This is accomplished by translating, editing, and validating dissimilar, often non-standard, data formats, and then forwards the transformed data to the recipient in a format compatible with their system. In the continuing process to expand services for customers, the DLA Transaction Services is operating a full-service EDI Telecommunications Hub and is maintaining and refining a Translation Engine for the any-to-any conversion of ANSI X12, MILS, and User-Defined Format (UDF) documents in any combination/direction. With this capability, the DLA Transaction Services acts as an Electronic Business (EB) Gateway for the DoD and other Federal Civil Agencies, performing translation to/from formats specified by each of the customers. Essentially, the DLA Transaction Services is the facilitator that enables disparate systems to function homogenously. Due to the essential mission that the DLA Transaction Services provides, the Department of Defense has defined the operation as Mission Assurance Category (MAC) I, which identifies the DLA Transaction Services processing as vital to the operational readiness or mission effectiveness of deployed and contingency forces in terms of both content and timeliness. The consequences of loss of integrity or availability of a MAC I system are unacceptable and could include the immediate and sustained loss of mission effectiveness. This project focuses on the use of Hewlett-Packard (HP) blade servers (BL870s C7000s) with HP-UX 11i VER 3 operating system and associated product support to accomplish DLA's Virtual Environment Expansion to maintain and enhance the current enterprise Storage Area Network (SAN) solution. This provides greater support to the warfighter by ensuring that critical data is available 24x7, 365 days per year and provides the best value to the Government through data warehousing technology.
