Our Storage Solutions are designed to support research, data growth, and high-performance workloads. We provide scalable, secure, and flexible infrastructure to manage large volumes of data efficiently.

📦 Network Attached Storage (NAS)

ITG provides Dell PowerScale NAS, a leading scale-out storage platform ideal for building a centralized data lake for unstructured research data.

• Scalable: Easily expand storage as research needs grow
• Flexible: Supports a wide range of research workloads
• Reliable: Designed for long-term data storage and access

Typical use cases:

• Numerical simulations (e.g., Abaqus) requiring large datasets
• Expanding server storage capacity (multi-terabyte needs)
• Hosting large collaborative research datasets

ITG also works closely with researchers to align storage growth with grant funding, ensuring sustainable and long-term infrastructure support.

🔄 Backup Infrastructure (Veeam)

ITG provides Veeam Backup Infrastructure to support reliable and efficient data protection across research and engineering environments. This platform helps ensure that critical data is securely backed up and can be quickly restored when needed.

• Reliable backups for research and project data
• Efficient recovery to minimize downtime

Due to limited capacity within Engineering servers, access to this service is allocated based on justified research needs. Researchers requiring backup support are encouraged to contact ITG with a clear use case.

🔐 Immutable Backup Infrastructure

ITG also offers Immutable Backup Infrastructure, designed to provide advanced data protection by ensuring that backup data cannot be modified or deleted. This is especially important for protecting against ransomware and accidental data loss.

• Immutable (tamper-proof) backups for maximum data integrity
• Enhanced security against cyber threats and data corruption

Similar to other storage services, capacity is limited within Engineering environments. Access is granted based on research requirements and justification. Please contact ITG to discuss eligibility and usage.
