## Description

Newcastle University wished to appoint a single supplier of Scale out Network Attached Storage \(NAS\) for the next 3 to 5 years to be deployed in both of its data centres; Claremont Tower and Databanx\. Scale out NAS will be used to store Newcastle's unstructured data and must be resilient across the two data centres with the ability to suffer a single data centre failure and still maintain service\. The initial requirement is for 89TB of resilient storage per datacentre with a view to expand as required over the next 3-5 years\.
