Research Data Management Services

From instrument output to long-term preservation, Ovation manages the data so researchers can focus on discovery.

Research teams often rely on a patchwork of storage systems, file transfer tools and manual processes to manage growing volumes of data. Valuable time is spent locating files, tracking project progress and moving information between systems. As datasets grow, so do the challenges of organization, collaboration and long-term preservation.

Many service providers focus on storage or compute. Ovation Data helps research organizations manage their data throughout its entire lifecycle, from capture and ingest to quality control, workflow orchestration, sharing and long-term preservation.
