Sixty Seven servers are owned, and zero servers are leased by the Department of Finance. The "capacity" of each server ranges from 1Gb to 32Gb RAM; 32Gb to 8Tb Hard Disk Drive; and 1 to 2 CPUs. It is not possible for all State agencies to reply within the timeframe. However the following responses have been received from some agencies.

The Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB);

· Total number of SEUPB, physical servers: 17. These servers are located in the Belfast, Monaghan and Omagh offices of the SEUPB.

To note - the SEUPB is currently in the process of rationalising its IT infrastructure which will reduce the number of physical servers the Body requires. This forms part of the SEUPB's Virtualisation Strategy which will allow it to create greater efficiencies in its IT delivery.
