Based on an HP platform, the network will ultimately provide 300 terabytes of storage capacity and will be one of the largest HP storage implementations in Ireland when it reaches this size, according to Redstone.
In a statement, UCD CTO Shaun Kennedy said: "Redstone put together the most compelling package - combining excellent service levels, understanding of our requirements and a trustworthy HP architecture."
The contract was unofficially agreed in February and the initial implementation of 40 terabytes of storage capacity has been completed. The remainder of the contract requires Redstone to support and develop the network further over the next five years.
