Research generates data of all sizes, from a few megabytes to hundreds of terabytes. And let’s face it, storing all that data can be costly. In this virtual session, we’ll introduce Research Object Storage (S3), a new campus-hosted data storage service offering 50TB of no-cost storage to eligible researchers. Discover how this service can significantly reduce storage costs and enable new ways to use and distribute your data.
