Choose the best data storage solution
Different types of research data require different kinds of storage solutions. The WUR Data Storage Finder is an interactive tool to select storage services based on the functionalities you need.
The tool asks several questions to identify suitable data storage services. For instance, does the total amount of your research data exceed 1 TB? Based on the answer, the tool advises specific storage solutions. You can also compare storage solutions on different specifications, such as cost or file recovery.
