PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

High Availability Backup and Replication Storage Solution

1.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES/INTRODUCTION

The Hull Response and Protection Branch, Code 664, at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD), West Bethesda, MD, requires a contract for purchase of the materials/services needed for data backup and replication between West Bethesda and Olney sites.

2.0 BACKGROUND

NSWCCD Code 664 has expertise in Survivability and Weapons Effects. Code 664 relies on multiple HPC clusters to perform high fidelity modeling and simulation of highly dynamic weapons effect events.

Code 664 requires the capability to have data, processing and storage of each site mirrored to one another.

This is critical for the protection and possible loss of a site.

3.0 OBJECTIVE

Create a data backup and replication service between two high performance computing (HPC) environments across a 1Gb/s TACLANE. There are two independent HPC environments at two difference locations/sites that are air gapped, and which will require the same backup and replication solution for each. The selected data from the HPC environment shall be backed up and replicated to the alternate site on a daily schedule. Additionally, the backup solution should include the capability of adding additional systems for backup if needed.

4.0 SYSTEM MINIMUM SPECIFICATIONS

● This storage solution must be designed with 99% availability

● 100TB of storage as a starting point expandable to 200 TB

● Storage solution and data replication must work over 1 Gb/s TACLANE

● Must fit within a rack enclosure using standard rack units (U)

● Storage solution should not exceed more than 10U

● Primary to be located at LOCATION 1 (see 14.0 DIAGRAM)

● Secondary (failover) to be located at LOCATION 2 (see 14.0 DIAGRAM)

● Same hardware and configuration for both NETWORK 1 and NETWORK 2 (see 14.0 DIAGRAM)

● Backup of HPC server data and replicate/sync that backup to other location

● All backup data should be accessible at all times from either location
