separate storage environment that is being deployed for the upcoming

university’s request for proposal process earlier this year we are diligently
working to assemble the technology that will bring the debate to millions of
people and households," said Rob Commins, VP of marketing, Tegile
Systems. "We are honored to be a
part of American history in this important way."
