Foundation Services → Storage

IS Foundation Services provides an enterprise-class site & hardware redundant storage area network, designed to meet the growing information technology (IT) needs of UMKC. The following storage options are offered.

IS Foundation services provides 500 MB of personal storage space for all students, staff, or faculty (accessible via the Q: drive).

Information Services provides the following free storage quota for departments & schools (presented on the N: drive):

Schools can elect to use either quota mechanism (but not both). Fees for storage use beyond the standard quota follow the standard storage fees (outlined below).

Storage hosted on Information Services’ site & hardware redundant storage area network runs $0.60 per GB per year (or 5 cents per GB per month). Storage is snapshotted nightly (retained 7 days) and every half-hour (retained 24 hours). Site-to-site replication of data occurs every half-hour and is retained 24 hours.
