One of the services that the ACG provides is data storage for research groups. Use this thread to post questions about data storage. Currently the ACG administers over 2 petabytes of raw storage.
Is my storage backed up?
Yes. Multiple backups of your data are created, with a copy stored off-site (in Portland, ME) in case of disaster.
What if I have particular data-security needs (like HIPAA or FERPA)?
ACG storage is not pre-certified for those applications, but the infrastructure is in place to support those standards should your program require them. Should that be a requirement for your research we would be happy to work with you to arrange those certifications.
I want to share storage with my team members. What’s the best way to set that up?
The ACG offers a “Seafile” services that support collaboration between members, strong version control, and a high degree of access granularity. Contact your ACG representative to discuss your needs or email them to acg@maine.edu.
