Data Archiving, Storage, and Access Services

The Collaboratory offered data archiving, storage, and access services to campus faculty, graduate students, as well as research institutes and centers. While the Collaboratory initially offered limited data storage and archival services, this aspect of the Collaboratory will grow as faculty and research centers request these services and provide resources to acquire hardware and hire staff.

The Collaboratory currently supports a server with anonymous ftp access for on-campus computer users with data previously housed on Wizard and Bobafett.

Contact the Interim Manager for access to these databases.
