This month's top tip is by Ian Hinder, Research Software Engineer (RSE) in Research IT, and focuses on keeping your research files safe by storing them in the Research Data Storage system provided by IT Services.

The Research Data Storage (Isilon) is being upgraded to a new tiered platform which will offer greater data storage capacity. Preparatory work for the upgrade is underway and this will require Isilon to be unavailable on Saturday 10th December from 6am - 2pm.

Research IT is pleased to announce that a replacement system for the existing Research Data Storage platform (Isilon) has been procured. The new tiered platform will offer researchers greater data storage capacity and will also be faster and cheaper.
