Shared Storage

Shared Storage allows different departments to have a shared file space that can be used across departments and their users. The departments are billed for this file server based on the total amount of space that they are using — this amount can be adjusted based on the group's needs. Shared Storage is only for files. HIPPA and PII data (as defined by state and federal laws) are not allowed on this server.

Academic and administrative departments at NMSU are eligible to request shared storage space on the network. Responsibilities of users/requesters include to:

• Ensure that no HIPPA or PII data is stored on Shared Storage
• To keep an active list of users and their security groups
• Keep track of who has what access to which folders
• Only allow users from your department to have access to your share
• For User Requests – Provide the correct share name and users username

Systems Responsibilities include:

• Creating Shared Storage shares
• Adding/removing users to your share
• Any type of file restoration
• Expanding or decreasing share size

There is a one-time setup fee of $35.50 for Shared Storage and an additional fee of $16.17 per user per month.
