Specifications include, but are not limited to: All information contained in 1.2 Current Environment will still be applicable in the new system (sources, networking, replication, and retention). We plan to do implementation with in-house staff, so no professional services are required to be part of your proposal (although you can add professional services as an option). The following are the minimum requirements we expect from the vendor’s solution. We expect your response to address every requirement. • Easy/intuitive interface • Fast and bandwidth-efficient backups (especially virtual) and minimal impact on the source system • Ability to replicate to a cloud service (vendor-specific cloud storage or generic S3) • At-a-glance backup job status, with good reporting capabilities • Granular restore capabilities, with ability to restore a single file or SQL database without requiring restoring the entire virtual server • Policy-driven immutable or air gapped capabilities to protect backups from ransomware • Ability to connect to VMware vCenter and Nutanix Acropolis for backing up virtual servers • Data encryption at rest and in-transit • Deduplication and compression of backups • Indexing of filenames in backups to allow for search • (Option) Ability to scan data for threats before backup • (Option) Ability to scan and classify sensitive data
