It is not a requirement that all research data must be held within the University, it is recommended that you keep copies of your data on the university's networked storage.
If your research data contains personal information from living individuals, you must store you data securely within the University's systems - see Research Data & GDPR for more information.
There are different types of networked storage:
iSolutions do provide secure storage for active research data in Research Filestore. If you would like to request research filestore please contact ServiceLine in the first instance. Please note that requests greater than 1TB will require a business case and allocations will be made on a case by case basis
Any researcher who is limited by the computing capability of their desktop PC may find HPC beneficial. Contact your BRM or email serviceline if you think you may need to use this facility.
