Storage finder

This tool will help you find a storage solution for your research data. Please check the data protocol of your faculty or institute, and any requirements that your collaborator(s) or funder(s) may have. If these do not specify any specific storage solution, the Storage Finder can be used to explore suitable options.

Please note

The Storage Finder's answers are indicative. Final answers are subject to the classifications of the solutions, which are pending.
