One of the most common and greatest challenges facing research computing today is meeting the data needs of modern research. Devices at all scales from the Large Hadron Collider to gene sequencers to networks of low cost sensors generate large amounts of data. The BoF will facilitate a conversation around strategies for building and managing research data services with a focus on data storage. This will be a community driven discussion that may include technologies, charge models, the type of IT group running the systems/services, compliance issues, data movement, data sharing, and beyond. The University of Iowa, Case Western Reserve University, Northwestern University, and University of Minnesota will act as a panel sharing experiences before engaging in a community conversation on best practices for tackling the research data challenge. To encourage the discovery of collaboration opportunities all panelists will also present on their top three research data challenges.
