Assess Storage Solutions

The Storage Strategy Working Group is developing a comprehensive plan to align our storage investments with the university’s diverse needs, from research and teaching to administrative requirements. By streamlining storage options and identifying the best on-premise and cloud solutions, we aim to enhance user experience, improve compliance, and reduce costs through collaboration. This initiative will make it easier for faculty, students, and staff to find and use the right storage solutions for their needs, while also ensuring Ohio State’s data is secure and accessible across the university. Timeline: Fall 2024 – TBD
