The South African Weather Service seeks information on a robust data backup solution for the Cray XC30-AC Lustre file system. This initiative aims to enhance data security and ensure reliable backup processes for critical meteorological data.
The South African Weather Service is requesting information to identify potential solutions for a comprehensive data backup system tailored for the Cray XC30-AC Lustre file system. This system is crucial for safeguarding vital meteorological data, which supports national weather forecasting and climate monitoring efforts. The selected solution must ensure high availability, scalability, and data integrity while accommodating the unique requirements of the Lustre file system architecture.
Key requirements include the ability to handle large volumes of data efficiently, support for incremental backups, and seamless integration with existing IT infrastructure. Vendors should also demonstrate expertise in data management and backup technologies, particularly in high-performance computing environments. The successful implementation of this solution will not only enhance data security but also improve operational resilience and disaster recovery capabilities for the South African Weather Service, ultimately contributing to better public service delivery in meteorological data dissemination.
This tender is suitable for IT service providers specializing in data backup solutions, particularly those with experience in high-performance computing and Lustre file systems. Companies with a proven track record in data management and disaster recovery services are encouraged to apply.
