As the new National Data Centre is set up, an offsite backup facility needs to come into existence to address recovery issues in case of disaster.
Currently, there is no off-site backup facility of the existing data centre. Both the live and backup systems are housed in the same building, which fails to serve the purpose of having a disaster recovery setup in place. In the event of disaster, there is no solution to safeguard the systems and its accompanying data. Further, a number of data-centrist systems are currently in the design stages and in the pipeline for development, which further emphasizes the critical need for an offsite backup mechanism.
This project aims to provide necessary backup infrastructure for the government to host automation solutions, online services and file storage services and consolidate and strengthen human resources required to manage the government IT network.
