In total my Department has 124 servers supporting a range of systems and services and including production, development, test, and training environments. They are categorised in the following table based on storage capacity. The memory and processor capacity varies depending on the function of the server. My Department owns all of the servers.

With regard to the agencies under the aegis of my Department, each agency is responsible for its own Information Technology services and the number of servers in each agency is therefore a matter for the individual agency. This information is not monitored or collated centrally.

However if the Deputy is interested in a particular agency my Department officials will be happy to arrange for the provision of this information.
