What the buyer published

University of Plymouth Enterprise Limited (UPEL) is looking to purchase critical hardware equipment located at the “edge” of the Innovation Centres in Cornwall (Pool Innovation Centre (PIC), Tremough Innovation Centre (TIC) and Health & Wellbeing Innovation Centre (HWIC) networks. The Bandwidth Management and Optimisation systems border (called an Exinda) and the dual Firewalls exposed to the internet via the University of Plymouth network, at each Innovation Centre are past their end of life and now need replacement.
