Aligning needs into a service
Steadily increasing demand on storage for research
Distributed storage management
Need to ensure the long-term value of research data
FAIR principles
Good stewardship of limited resources
How to translate need into service
Institutional approach
Scalability
“We’re running out of space on the clusters… again.”
“How can I access my student’s data now that she’s left?”
“My funder says I need to make my data available.”
“I worked on some data a few years ago that I need now.”
“I want to share some of my data with my collaborators.”
TigerData is a comprehensive set of data storage and management tools and services that provides storage capacity, reliability, functionality, and performance to meet the needs of a rapidly changing research landscape and to enable new opportunities for leveraging the power of institutional data. It will include data management tools and services in concert with a community of practice that enables researchers and data managers to describe and tag their research materials, to seamlessly move them between different storage architectures, and to easily find their data and code for re-use and collaboration. The resulting ecosystem will facilitate research and�contribute to the stewardship of knowledge to enable �reusability and preservation of data and code produced�by Princeton University.
