ICT has a mandate to ensure that UNISA will be able to recover
its data in the event of a disaster.
The project seeks a three year contract with a service provider
capable of meeting UNISA’s requirements to provide either a Hot
site or a Cold site for recovery.
The Objectives are:
• Provide a DR solution at a TIER 3 location outside Gauteng
• Provide suggested RTO and RPO per solution
• Insurance that none of UNISA’s data will leave South African
boarders
• UNISA anticipates conducting two tests per year
• Provide work area recovery for ICT Emergency Response
