586 Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the number of computer servers that are owned or leased by his Department and each State agency under the aegis of his Department; and the capacity of each server. [22482/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe number of computer servers owned by my Department is 269 providing production, test and development environments for both internal and external services. The number of physical servers is being reduced over time through a policy of amalgamation and increased use of virtualisation technologies.
The total amount of storage currently available to these servers is 254.6 Terabytes.
The number of computer servers that are owned or leased by each State agency under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for the agencies themselves and the information is not readily available to my Department.
