Does your research project need access to data storage that allows for growth and worry-free management and security at a competitive price? Many times researchers resort to storing critical, unique data on the cheapest data storage device that offers the capacity they need but with little or no technical support. Consequently, research time and resources are diverted to managing storage hardware. With redundant, enterprise-level hardware, comprehensive support and competitive pricing of our Networked Storage Service, the Division of IT provides this valuable service to university researchers.
