The preferred bidder will be required to include migration proposals to minimise business impact, risk and allow migration as a background task. 10. The storage requirements are anticipated to initially be 70TBs in a usable configuration replicated (therefore 140 TB over two sites in RAID configurations) expanding to 550 usable TB over 5 years with possible expansion to 900 usable TB or more.
