Description

The Cambridge Institute for Medical Research is located in the Wellcome Trust MRC Building and houses staff from seven departments of the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine. Traditional file servers with direct attached storage form the current method of data storage for the CIMR network.
CIMR proposes to purchase a large storage appliance and a similar or identical system to be used for off-site replication, to consolidate the current provision for bulk file storage and home directories, as well as provide storage suitable for booting virtual machines over the network.
The primary storage appliance will be hosted in the Wellcome Trust MRC Building. This will be replicated to an off-site array within a University Department, also within the scope of this tender, via two 1 gigabit links. Both systems will be maintained by CIMR IT staff.
The system should consist of 100TB of usable disk space accessed via the Common Internet File System (CIFS). CIMR uses a wide variety of operating systems, so the storage appliance should allow Windows, Apple and Linux clients to connect. User authentication to the file shares will be by Active Directory.
