Sorry for the short notice - completely my fault. Tomorrow afternoon there is a workshop on data storage in the future. The agenda is below and I would welcome any feedback from people. Basic questions/criteria for the workshop (not limited to): Active Data Storage · What volume of data do you need to store during the lifetime of an active research project? · Are you using or planning to use RDS active data storage in conjunction with the RCS HPC resources or for other data storage requirements? · Do you need to share data externally? · Do you need to transfer data in/out of the next generation RDS from external resources? Disaster Recovery · What volume of data do you need to protect during the lifetime of an active research project? · If the data storage platform was significantly affected what ‘time to restore’ could you accommodate? § I need instant access to data § OR Project would require data to be restorable within hours/days/weeks/months? Archive · What volume of data would you need to archive at the end of a research project? · For what time period would you need to retain data in an Archive? · Do you have sensitive data (e.g. personal/commercial/other) that would need to be archived and an archive meet certain information governance requirements?
