Storage considerations

There are several storage options available to VU researchers, each with its own set of benefits and limitations. When deciding where to store your research data, it is important to first assess your specific requirements and use this evaluation to make an informed decision about which storage option is most suitable for your research data. This section will highlight the key factors that influence storage selection, while the following section will help align these factors with the available storage options.

 

Data Quantity:

 

 

 

Data Sensitivity:

 

 

Data Sharing:

 

Physical or Digital Data:

The above factors are discussed with requirements in mind, but it is also important to consider which requirements are not necessary. For example, if your data is non-sensitive & non-personal, you should not add security measures which are not necessary.
