DET offers shared Open Systems data storage at the State's Salt Lake City and Richfield data centers. Storage space in this environment is available for use by government agencies.

This product uses SATA storage, which is typically used for business important data, such as reference data, fixed content image data, backup data, etc. Such data must be accessible online, but is only accessed periodically and has lower performance requirements than Fibre Channel storage.

Open Systems Storage is provided to agencies on a Logical Unit Number (LUN) basis. Storage is allocated based on the size or amount of storage the customer feels is needed for his/her environment. The customer specifies the number of LUNs desired and the size of each LUN. LUNs can be configured in increments of 1GB. Connectivity to this storage is provided through high-speed Fibre Channel networks.
