Case Study

Description:
MRN’s research is expensive, and patient populations can be nearly impossible, to reproduce. Despite the value of data, a “hope and a prayer” could summarize the old approach to safeguarding data. Lacking a consolidated data protection strategy, research was greatly risked. With each unit responsible for managing its own data, backups were often ignored because it interrupted the researchers’ work.

Data is a critical element of MRN’s brain study research. A gigabyte of data acquired by a scientist at MRN will triple in size after being processed and analyzed. According to MRN’s director of IT, Jeremy Lawrence, “Our storage requirements are huge. MRN’s researchers are collecting and analyzing two terabytes of data per month.” MRN is currently managing over 50 long term neuroimaging studies and their associated data, which includes everything from MRI, EEG and DNA data to written and videotaped subject interviews. Studies typically range from two to eight years.
