DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT
Purpose and Objectives
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Information Technology Branch (ITB) IT Operations requires the renewal and additional cloud archive licensing (Cohesity DataProtect) in order to cover the increase in data now being stored in our cohesity cluster appliance. Without these licenses, we won’t be able to store files in our cohesity onprem cluster and archive our backups to AWS for long-term storage and recovery. This renewal also includes 24/7 premium support and maintenance to all of cohesity cluster hardware.
NIMH ITB IT Operations currently manages several different storage devices for different purposes in the NIMH computing environment. Because each system serves a different purpose, the requirements for each are different. The Cohesity cluster allows the Operations team to backup the NIMH ITB virtual infrastructure and our Qumulo data storage system, among other things, and archive it to the cloud for data recovery purposes. It is necessary for us to hold adequate licensing for the archival of this data to AWS for long-term storage and recovery.
