EMC branded products

The Naval Air Warfare Center, Lakehurst, intends to procure EMC Corporation brand name only products and software support from EMC Corporation and their authorized distributors. The current RDT&E network backup infrastructure, which is used to perform automated backups of the existing server infrastructure, consists of the EMC Networker application and the EMC VNX-5300 Network Attached Storage (NAS) hardware.
