858. Deputy John Lahart asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the proportion of his Department’s IT data that is stored in the cloud; the proportion of the data held by all agencies and subsidiaries of his Department in the cloud; if this represents an improvement; if so, the development that has been made towards cloud storage since 2019 to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51190/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe proportion of the Department’s IT data that is stored in the cloud is circa 1%. Over the last number of years, the Department has increased its footprint in cloud technology through the migration of several IT services to the D/PER OGCIO Build-to-Share platform and availing of private sector IT related services like Chatbot.
In relation to agencies (and subsidiaries) under the aegis of the Department, the proportion of IT data that is stored in the cloud is an operational matter for the agencies themselves.
