70 -- ENTERPRISE STORAGE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS POC Michael Link 618-256-9412 The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Western Hemisphere (WESTHEM) is soliciting information on enterprise storage management solutions that provide backup, archive, restore, and hierarchical storage management capabilities for distributed computing environments. The solution must support a wide range of platforms running at fifteen (15) Defense Megacenters (DMCs) and numerous customer locations. The storage management solution must interface with software products in the DISA baseline inventory, which support the following functional areas: security, performance monitoring, network management, and problem reporting. The solution must support a heterogeneous operating environment, which includes client/server support for the following platforms: Digital Equipment Corporation Hewlett Packard Honeywell MVS (Amdahl, Hitachi, IBM) NCR Pyramid Sun Tandem Unisys Wang Submit first copy of literature to DISA/DITCO/DT45 (Michael Link), 2300 East Drive, Scott A.F.B., IL 6225-5406. A second copy shall be submitted to DISA WESTHEM (Michelle Johnson), 8051 East Maplewood Avenue, Orchard Place Seven, Englewood, CO 80111. The literature provided should address software and hardware solutions, licensing options, maintenance, training, documentation, implementation support services, and associated costs on the Enterprise Storage Management Solutions. Additionally, the literature should describe the product's ability to support the following functional capabilities. Functionality provides data protection, data retention, and hierarchical storage management in a distributed client/server environment. Product provides automatic data backup and recovery for locally or remotely connected clients and file servers. Solution supports multiple connectivity architectures including: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), Enterprise Systems Connection (ESCON), System Network Architecture (SNA), Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) and Fiber Distributed Data Interchange (FDDI). Solution must be scaleable and available on multi-vendor platforms including personal computers, mid-range systems, and mainframes. The solution must be capable of storing data on a variety of storage devices including: Direct Access Storage Device (DASD), Digital Linear Tape (DLT), and robotics tape libraries. The solution must support multiple network architectures including local area networks, metropolitan area networks, wide are networks, and asynchronous transfer mode networks. (0282)
