For employees and students
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
- Uses a storage cluster where the data between both UT data centres is synchronised asynchronously. Should one of these data centres go down, the other data centre has to be selected manually. The service will then not be available for some time. The storage cluster is ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certified. The storage cluster uses many disks and offers high data storage capacity;

- Data areas are made available through the SMB or NFS protocol;
- > 1TB data area;
