Public award description

THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, FEDERAL STUDENT AID (FSA) HAS A BUSINESS NEED FOR CONTINUED MAINTENANCE SUPPORT FOR STORAGE POINT AND TO ADD MAINTENANCE FOR METALOGIX MIGRATION MANAGER (CONTENT MATRIX). THESE TOOLS WORK WITH SHAREPOINT AND STORAGE AREA NETWORK/DIRECT-ATTACHED STORAGE AS ADD-ON PRODUCT(S). THE CONTENT MATRIX ALLOWS FSA TO MIGRATE DOCUMENTS AND METADATA FROM ORACLE STELLENT, WHICH IS THE CURRENT REPOSITORY FOR STORING PARTNER LEGACY DOCUMENTS. STORAGEPOINT SOFTWARE LICENSE IS INCREMENTAL, THEREFORE BACKUP AND RECOVERY TIMES ARE FASTER AND LESS EXPENSIVE. STORAGEPOINT SOFTWARE REQUIRES FEWER BACK-UPS OF HUGE AMOUNTS OF DATA. ALSO, IT IS EASIER TO RECOVER A DOCUMENT. IF MAINTENANCE IS NOT CONTINUED, FSA S DEVELOPMENT TEAM WOULD NEED TO DEVELOP SCRIPTS TO MIGRATE THE DOCUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED METADATA. THIS WOULD IMPACT BOTH SCHEDULE AND COST. FSA WILL SPEND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY ON BACKUPS AND STORING BACKUPS AT THE VDC.
