Introduction The existing XP24K Disk Array (SN: 45281) located at San Antonio is currently being maintained by the original awarded vendor, Hewlett Packard. The products and services meet the storage functional objectives stated by the customer and DISA. The proposed solution meets all interface and communications requirements set forth by DISA. (2). Because the existing XP25K Disk Array system was awarded to Hewlett Packard, this vendor has unique and detailed knowledge of the current system and proposed solution and the equipment configuration management requirements for successful movement and migration of this asset. (3). Award to any source other than Hewlett Packard would result in voiding the current warranty on the asset and resulting in additional costs to DISA. Savings will be realized by not replacing the existing array, which cost over $200k to replace and is still fully functional, scalable, and supportable. (4).
