Working with educational institutions for most of my career, I have seen quite a shift in how technology has helped and hindered those of you making amazing breakthrough through research.
Not everyone has the ability to do research but we should all revere those who do as today’s breakthroughs are addressing some of the biggest challenges we face as a human race.
With that, we have seen a huge shift in focus as life science researchers are thinking less about samples and experiments and more about data analysis and sharing. Preserving the output of data in manageable and sharing formats is the foundation of new industry phrases such as ‘Science 2.0’ or ‘Open Science’. With either phrase, the concept is the same. Data is the true productive output of research where value from billions invested in research must be realized.
The inherit value of data will likely last beyond its initial intended use. So finding a way to store, share and reuse this data is critical to the success of this research. Sun and its partners have solutions where the storage preservation aspects of the storage platform are decoupled so that you can customize an archive solution that best meets your specific requirements. Research teams can now fully utilize their digital information while reducing cost and complexity.
