Enterprise Backup Solution C/W Associated Hardware, Software & Services

Tender description

South Dublin County Council has identified a requirement to review the existing backup and recovery infrastructure to address inadequate performance and ongoing difficulties in managing the backup strategy as a result. Current backup systems were installed a number of years ago and were configured to meet requirements at that time. In order to properly plan for the future and to cater for the increasing digital data storage requirements, SDCC wishes to implement a scalable solution that will evolve to accommodate future storage and digital data backup requirements. SDCC also wishes to take advantage of lower running costs, including reduced power consumption. SDCC also wishes to incorporate data de-duplication, archive and replication elements for the backup process with the aim of decreasing the digital data storage requirement and to reduce the volume of data that must be sent across the network, resulting in the delivery a true enterprise data backup system.
