Q&A: Data Storage Systems and Data Analysis Workflows for Research

THIS SESSION IS A Q&A SESSION, NOT A LIVE INSTRUCTION SESSION.

PLEASE HAVE QUESTIONS READY FOR THE REGISTERED SESSION; THE ZOOM MEETING WILL ONLY BE HOSTED FOR AS LONG AS THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CONTENT BEING ASKED.

Please review the video linked below, and register if you would like to ask questions to a live MSI expert.

In this tutorial you will learn about the data storage systems available for academic research at the University of Minnesota. An overview of the kinds of storage systems that are available, policies for getting access to them, a comparison of their characteristics, and examples of how they can be accessed will be presented. You will also be given an overview of how the characteristics of UMN storage will impact the stability and throughput of various applications and workflows. The tutorial will end by highlighting some examples of how UMN storage systems, data flows, and computation can be choreographed to allow applications to address much larger problems which enable qualitatively new analyses.

The Q&A will be hosted via Zoom, and instructions will be emailed to participants 24 hours before the scheduled session.
