HP has won a contract worth $8.9 million with the Department of Education and Training of Victoria to provide file server infrastructure and services to 1,500 Victorian government schools for five years.
The project will supply and refresh 1,702 administration servers and related products including server equipment.
"This provides local data storage, secure access to the school’s network for students and staff as well as enabling shared services like printing," said a department spokesman.
The contract covers project management for the logistics and delivery of the hardware to the government schools, as well as file server infrastructure to cover administrative and curriculum environments for 15 new public-private partnership schools.
The deal also includes a standing offer arrangement for the schools' local purchasing for a period of five years, according to the spokesman.
HP is not the first vendor to land a big contract as part of the $291 million PPP project. IBM won a $7.8 million tender in May to provide networking hardware to the Victorian schools.
