*It may be possible to store ITAR protected data if properly encrypted prior to being uploaded, but faculty should consult with the Information Security Office to determine if there are any other issues or concerns.
** Currently, the MS-Office for iPad suite only allows OneDrive (or DropBox) to be used for backend storage. The MS-Office for iPad is not permitted to be used where any such university data is associated.
***Non-cloud storage service, included for sake of comparison.
****Database service, included for sake of comparison.
NOTE: There is no university contract in place for DropBox. As a result, no usage involving protected or restricted university data is permitted.
NOTE: Microsoft OneDrive is in the process of being negotiated and information about that service will be added to the matrix as soon as possible.
