Overview

The Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences (GNS Science) is seeking solutions to provide for its future data storage requirements and replace its accumulated range of data storage systems. The current platform has capacity, technical and management limitations, and is using systems that are nearing the end of their useful life.

Our systems support a large amount of structured and unstructured data with high demand for speed and availability. The future growth of our business requires a solution that is flexible and scalable to meet the growing demands from both customers and staff engaged in providing complex science solutions. These include geohazard monitoring and on-going research with climate change and its impact on New Zealand communities.

We are seeking a credible vendor who has the capability and experience to provide a scalable solution to meet our future needs. They must operate in time zones that provide high availability to our business, possess the capacity to support a diverse scientific environment and have a strong successful track record of delivering large scale storage solutions. Ideally, the preferred vendor will possess a full range of capabilities, or the capacity and capability of priming a solution that meets all GNS Science’s storage requirements.
