The number and capacity of computer servers in my Department and the Defence Forces is spread over a number of mainstream applications, including Local and Wide Area Networks, business, administrative and financial systems, web hosting, mission-critical support systems and a wide range of local and specialist applications. The capacity varies according to need. There is also a wide geographical spread, given the nature and scope of the Defence organisation. The following is a summary of the position.

Civil Branch of the Department, including integrated civil/military modules: a total of 79 Servers; the storage capacity varies from 300 GB (gigabyte) to 1.0TB (terabyte; 1 TB=1000GB) per server. None is leased. Defence Forces — military only applications: a total of 152 servers. The storage capacity varies from 70GB to 1.1 TB per server. There are four servers leased by the Defence Forces. Three of these have a 160 GB capacity and one has a capacity of 144 GB.
