How Does IT Support Data Storage?

Answer

IT provides both data storage locations and data analysis tools, but is not responsible for moving data from one storage location to another.

Data Storage

  • DFS or Blue storage is used for sharing and securing data within and between departments for the life of the University. File sharing from your workstation is neither encouraged or supported by the Service Desk.
  • OneDrive is used for sharing an individual's data. OneDrive data is deleted upon separation from the University (graduation, termination, etc.)
  • Local storage is strongly discouraged since IT does not back-up data stored on your local drive. Local data may need to be deleted at any time due to maintenance on your device.
  • Personal data storage (wedding photos, personal correspondence, taxes, etc.) on Creighton systems is not allowed. Personal data restoration requests can not be filled.

Web, ADFS file sharing, and FTP services are not supported on CU owned desktop workstations. Use provided web DFS network servers configured for volume traffic or contact the Service Desk for more information.
