Specifications for Online Real Time Mission Data Logging & Retrieval System
Introduction:
DRDL is planning to implement unified storage solution (SAN and NAS capability) with storage scalable to at least 144 drives. This will be used by intranet activity like, storing of database, file data, application data, web & email data etc. with 24/7 operational. It is planned for unified storage solution with no single point of failure & with SAN & NAS functionality within the same storage array. Tape Library will be used for having one more copy of the data. Proposed tape library to have inbuilt redundancy like tape drive, power supply. The solution is to provide management facility with front touch screen operational panel & remote management. SAN switches and FC HBAs will be used for servers to storage connectivity. Proposed STORAGE solution should be from the major vendors like IBM, HP, EMC, Fujitsu and NetApp or
equivalent. Proposed BACKUP Hardware solution should be from the major vendors
like IBM, HP, DELL, TANDBURG and Overland Storage or equivalent. Proposed BACKUP software solution should be from the major vendors like IBM -Tivoli, HP -
Openview and DELL – Netvault or equivalent. Proposed SAN Switches should to be
from the major vendors like Cisco and Brocade or equivalent. One onsite engineer has to placed for 1 year at DRDL to maintain storage, storage connectivity, regular backups and administration.
