Description
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this project is to provide a centralized and standardized backup solution for the Phoenix Area Indian Health Service. Local Backups are to be performed onsite to the new local appliances, then replicated out to a central Repository hosted by IHS in Albuquerque, NM. Locations of the sites span Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico.
II. DELIVERABLES: A. Hardware/Software/licensing
The following sites will receive an onsite backup appliance(s), software to run and integrate with * * IHS systems (Windows, VMware, SQL, Oracle), and licensing to operate:
- PAO – Appliance with 60TB Usable storage for backups, with SFP+ connections;
- PIMC – Appliance with 60TB Usable storage for backups, with SFP+ connections;
- Whiteriver – Appliance with 60TB Usable storage for backups, with SFP+ connections;
B. Backup Solution technical requirements:
- Data ingested by the backup solution should be encrypted in flight and at rest at all phases of the backup lifecycle such as replication and archive. Backups should not be stored in a native format to the source data as this allows for potential access of the data.
- Online backups should not be exposed via open protocols such as SMB and NFS. A logical air gap solves for rapid speed of recovery while keeping the backups vaulted offline from the network and behind a zero-trust configuration.
- The backup solution should make use of CRC to ensure that the data committed to the backup repository is the same data that was backed up at the time of the backup, through the life cycle of the data, and when the data is called for restore to ensure the backups have not been modified. If any data is modified the solution should be self-healing to correct the data…
