Event Overview
This workshop will focus on the IT services available to support our research communities, with an emphasis on managing the data challenge we all face. The world of today’s interdisciplinary research—heavily influenced by the data explosion generated by the Internet, along with the rapid pace of technological advances—requires a portfolio of high-quality, 24/7 services that are flexible, affordable, reliable and safe. Collaboration needs to be at the core of these services to allow researchers to focus on their work while IT professionals focus on the technology tools that can illuminate their next discovery. This workshop will address high-performance computing, bioinformatics, storage/archiving, data management, and more. With research being a critical mission at most higher education institutions, it’s important to dedicate a workshop to such a topic.
Session Outcomes:
- To expose attendees to the challenges and solutions generated by the data deluge experienced by all higher-education research institutions.
- Foster passionate discussions around this topic with a particular focus on the “Service Broker vs Service Provider” and “On Premise vs Off Premise” options during group activities.
