Service for additional storage capacity for internal UT project data or research data. The data is stored in the UT data centres.
This service is suitable for the storage of large data volumes. Examples include large quantities of media content (documents, video and audio) and research data. The UT Drive data areas are made available under UT.
SPECIFICATIONS

Should one of the two data centers fail, there will be an automatic switch to the other data center without service interruption (high availability). The storage cluster is ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certified. The storage cluster uses solid state disks (SSDs) to deliver good performance;
