The objective is to establish a consistent, enterprise-wide approach that improves service continuity and supports effective recovery from disruptive events. The scope of the procurement will include the provision of a unified platform capable of supporting data protection and recovery across a range of enterprise environments, including infrastructure, cloud-based services, and software-as-a-service solutions.
