The Office of Acquisition Management is conducting this acquisition for NetApp Storage equipment on behalf of Bureau of Information Resource Management, Systems Integration Office (IRM/OPS/SIO). This Justification and Approval (J&A) on a brand name only basis is for the purchase of Network Appliance Storage System. This is new contract to add additional Network Appliance Storage Systems to an existing Network Appliance infrastructure. IRM/OPS/SIO has identified the Network Appliance Storage System Model # FAS3170A as a key component of the Departments SAN/NAS Infrastructure both domestic and abroad. The equipment referenced above is required to enhance the existing Department of States enterprise storage and disaster recovery efforts based on existing Network Appliance devices Bureau wide through replication and SAN capabilities that requires two Network Appliance systems to carry out these functions. Network Appliance has been the approved SAN solution through the ITCCB since at least 2005. Since that time, the ESOC (Enterprise Server Operations Center) has built their production and recovery architecture on top of services that are unique to the NetApp software. Before selecting NetApp, ESOC had multiple vendor solutions including HP and EMC. Each of these systems required different hardware, different software, and different staff. After a review of each vendor solution, ESOC chose NetApp for compatibility purposes since it was approved by the Department, fully met all requirements, and had the best internal DoS support. ESOC has built on this decision, providing services for many of the Departments mission critical applications such as SMART, eMail, and Passport. The current purchase is an extension of the existing support and is required to maintain consistency across sites to continue with IRM/OPS/SIOs ability to support offsite recovery. This is in full compliance with our FISMA reporting responsibilities and the Presidents Management Agenda.As this is a brand name only justification, no one contractors unique qualifications are cited as the basis for this justification. Rather, the products identified by brand name herein have been determined to be the only items that meet the Departments requirements as a key component of the Departments Storage and System Recovery systems. This purchase is an extension of the investment already made in this brand name. This is not a completely new installation but builds upon existing infrastructure. It has been determined that other vendors can sell storage that used the standard protocols such as FCP, ISCSI, Snap mirroring technology but their operating systems are proprietary and wont work with others. To put another system in place would require replacing the old and then going with another technology that would require new skill sets and new hardware. This would cost millions of dollars in our operation that now cover 4 datacenters. Paragraph 3 above addresses the historical background of this issue more fully.ESOC had installed multiple vendor solutions including HP and EMC. Each of these systems required different hardware, different software, and different staff. After a review of each vendor solution, ESOC chose NetApp for compatibility purposes since it was approved by the Department, fully met all requirements, and had the best internal DoS support. While this is a brand name justification, there are multiple resellers that provide a similar product. ESOC narrowed the field and the ITCCB approved the NetApp equipment that met the Departments requirements.
