<summary>Campus File Storage Non-replicated / Research Services</summary> | ||
<p> | ||
File Services for Research provides Brown University research departments | ||
with a location in which files can be stored, backed up, and shared with members | ||
of the Brown community using Brown ID’s and groups. Space is allocated to each | ||
research lab or PI with an ITHelp request, and security groups are required to define | ||
access to the data. The data is protected locally via snapshots but doesn’t have | ||
geo-redundancy (secondary copy). | ||
</p> | ||
<ul> | ||
<li> | ||
Best for: Brown faculty and staff researchers looking to store, share and | ||
protect research data. | ||
</li> | ||
<li> | ||
Accessibility: The data is accessible on Brown's campus networks (including | ||
VPN and wireless). Also accessible directly from High Performance Computing | ||
Cluster (Oscar). | ||
</li> | ||
<li> | ||
Sharing: The data can be shared with both Brown and non-Brown collaborators | ||
via Globus. | ||
</li> | ||
<li>Limitations: No geo-redundancy (secondary copy)</li> | ||
<li>Rate: $50/TB/Year when storing above free/grant allocations</li> | ||

members of the Brown community using Brown ID’s and groups. Space is allocated | ||
to each research lab or PI with an ITHelp request, and security groups are | ||

disaster recovery site for True geo-redundant data protection. The data is | ||

<summary>Campus File Storage / Department File Services</summary> | ||
<p> | ||
Departmental File Services provides University departments with a location in which | ||
files can be stored, backed up, and shared across the department. The service can be | ||
accessed by mapping the drive on your computer ( | ||
<a href="https://ithelp.brown.edu/kb/articles/38-connect-to-departmental-file-services-on-windows">Windows Explorer</a> | ||
on PC or <a href="https://ithelp.brown.edu/kb/articles/3-connect-to-department-file-services-with-mac-osx">Finder</a> | ||
on a Mac), or by visiting <a href="http://webfiles.brown.edu/">webfiles.brown.edu</a> | ||
in a web browser. (For researchers, please check out "Campus File Storage | ||
replicated/non-replicated / Research services " section) | ||
</p> | ||
<ul> | ||
<li> | ||
Best for: Backing up and sharing official department documents, ensuring longevity | ||
of documents after file authors leave Brown. | ||
</li> | ||
<li> | ||
Limitations: Can only be accessed on the Brown network or with VPN. Not as easy to | ||
access as consumer services (no app, web access is a bit clunky). Sharing is not | ||
easy: no sharing with people outside of Brown, no sharing with people who don't | ||
have access to the department folders. | ||

<summary>Oscar Storage</summary> | ||
<p> | ||
Oscar storage, also known as Computational Data Storage, is a high-performance | ||
data storage system which is accessible from any computer connected to Brown's | ||
campus network, or from outside the network via ssh. What sets this option apart | ||
from the others is that it is directly connected to Brown’s primary supercomputer, | ||
“Oscar”, making computation easier. If you don’t intend to compute your data with | ||
Brown’s supercomputer, you may consider using Campus File Storage instead. You could | ||
also use Oscar storage for computing and then move your results to Campus File Storage | ||
for greater accessibility, reliability, and protection. | ||
</p> | ||
<ul> | ||
<li>Synonyms: Oscar Data, HPC Storage, GPFS (historically)</li> | ||
<li> | ||
Best for: High performance storage of research data, perform computation on | ||
your data using Brown’s supercomputer | ||
</li> | ||
<li>Limitations: Not accessible on all campus networks.</li> | ||
<li>Rate: $100/TB/Year when storing above free/grant allocations</li> | ||

<summary>Hibernate</summary> | ||
<p> | ||
<a href="https://docs.ccv.brown.edu/hibernate/">Hibernate</a> is a secure, reliable, | ||
research data archive solution. Hibernate is a Brown OIT archival service for the | ||
research community to migrate inactive data off active Network-attached storage (NAS) | ||
platforms onto a lower cost, long-term retention environment. | ||
</p> | ||
<ul> | ||
<li> | ||
Hibernate leverages <a href="https://docs.ccv.brown.edu/starfish/">StarFish</a> | ||
an application that provides a metadata and rules-based | ||
management framework for large file systems. StarFish makes storage tiering easy: | ||
moving data, reporting, zones. | ||

<summary>Lab Archives</summary> | ||
<p> | ||
LabArchives is a cloud-based electronic lab notebook that can be used by researchers, | ||
instructors, and students for input and organization of laboratory data, information | ||
sharing, and collaboration, and for saving historical versions of files. It is appropriate | ||
for use in a wide variety of laboratories, including biological sciences, chemistry and | ||
physical sciences, and engineering, among others. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
LabArchives at Brown provides unlimited storage space. The current size limit per file is 4GB. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
LabArchives at Brown is not approved for storing files containing Personally Identifiable | ||
Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), or Brown Restricted Information. | ||

<summary>Brown Digital Repository</summary> | ||
<p> | ||
The Brown Digital Repository (BDR) is a place to gather, index, store, preserve, and make | ||
available digital assets produced via the scholarly, instructional, research, and administrative | ||
activities at Brown. | ||
</p> | ||
<p>The Brown University Library maintains the repository as a service to the Brown community; it provides:</p> | ||
<ul> | ||
<li>A searchable index of digital objects shared by the Brown community.</li> | ||
<li>Permanent, secure storage for personal and departmental digital objects.</li> | ||
<li>Off-site backups of digital content.</li> | ||
<li>Tools for sharing and publishing digital content.</li> | ||
<li>Data curation, format migration, and preservation services.</li> | ||
</ul> | ||
<p> | ||
Faculty and researchers interested in using the Brown Digital Repository as a platform for | ||
programmatic data management, storage, and publication should contact the Library ([email protected]) | ||
for information about opportunities for research consulting and project development support. | ||

<summary>Google Drive</summary> | ||
<p> | ||
Google Drive gives you space to store and share documents. The native Google document | ||
formats allow for real-time collaboration and file history. You can also store unconverted files | ||
of various types in your Google Drive. It's easy to share files with members of the Brown community | ||
(including Google Groups) and non-Brown Google accounts; files can be shared with view-only, comment, | ||
or edit access. Google also has a really nice feature where you can scan in handwritten documents and | ||
have them converted to text. You can access files on the web, through a mobile app, or by installing | ||
Google Drive on your computer (which makes it act like a folder on your computer). | ||
</p> | ||
<ul> | ||
<li> | ||
Best for: Collaboration in native Google files, easy access from anywhere, small amount of total | ||
storage, sharing with Google Groups. | ||
</li> | ||
<li> | ||
Limitations: Data transfer speeds may be very limited, Globus can provide high bandwidth data transfers. | ||

Is there a decent place to link to a definition of geo-redundancy and why this might be an issue for data?
