+ 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). +

++ 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 ( + Windows Explorer + on PC or Finder + on a Mac), or by visiting webfiles.brown.edu + in a web browser. (For researchers, please check out "Campus File Storage + replicated/non-replicated / Research services " section) +
++ 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. +
++ Stronghold + is a secure computing and storage environment that enables Brown researchers to analyze sensitive data + while complying with regulatory or contractual requirements. +
++ Hibernate 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. +
++ 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. +
++ LabArchives at Brown provides unlimited storage space. The current size limit per file is 4GB. +
++ LabArchives at Brown is not approved for storing files containing Personally Identifiable + Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), or Brown Restricted Information. +
++ 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. +
+The Brown University Library maintains the repository as a service to the Brown community; it provides:
++ Faculty and researchers interested in using the Brown Digital Repository as a platform for + programmatic data management, storage, and publication should contact the Library (bdr@brown.edu) + for information about opportunities for research consulting and project development support. +
++ 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). +
