SMART storage

A webpage and a network drive

You control access to your data via a webpage and we store your data on a network attached storage facility. DataHub provides several types of storage facilities, each with their own unique features mainly focused on a SMART combination of costs, performance and duration. As every research and all data are different you need to write a data management plan (DMP). Based on your DMP and the proper informed consent you can start using the storage facility.

Request your storage facility
