100MB service introduced to the UCD campus

 The Center for Image Process and Integrated Computing (CIPIC), IT's Distributed Computing Analysis and Support (DCAS) unit and the Institute of Theoretical Dynamics (ITD) were the first UCD departments to receive 100MB service during the Stage 3 cutover. According to John Kinsella, computer systems manager for ITD, the faster connection should increase the number of departments who can use ITD's facilities for computational model and analysis purposes.
