IT Electronic Media Storage Services

Previous task orders have provided offsite electronic media storage services to GSA IT at its datacenters in multiple locations nationwide. These services include the pickup of magnetic tapes on a weekly schedule determined by GSA, the delivery of these tapes to a secured, climate controlled facility owned and operated by the vendor of the services, the return of tapes on a rotation and weekly schedule determined by GSA IT, and 5 x 9 off-schedule delivery of tapes from storage in an emergency situation. These services, therefore, fulfilled GSA IT's need to comply with Federal media protection and data preservation requirements and protect copies of GSA digital data from loss due to in-facility events.
