The Department owns and operates 22 servers currently in its offices at Kildare Street and Killarney. The capacity of the hard drives on these servers is as follows: 6 servers with 136 GB each, 5 servers with 409 GB each, 4 servers with 465 GB each, 4 servers with 68 GB each, 2 servers with 285 GB each and 1 server with 34 GB.

The National Archives has 7 servers operating on its local area network (LAN). The capacity of the hard drives on these servers is 16 GB, 75 GB, 136 GB, 204 GB, 204 GB, 408 GB and 836 GB.

Additionally, the National Archives has 8 servers externally hosted at a data centre, which service the Census of Ireland online facility. Each of these servers has a 72 GB capacity. It also has 1 externally hosted server servicing the National Archives website, and this has a capacity of 146 GB. Neither the Department nor the National Archives lease any of their servers.

Details regarding computer services in the Department's agencies are a matter for those agencies and my Department does not have such details.
