Lessons from the Frederick National Lab on Managing Enterprise Scientific Data - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

National Cancer Institute (NCI) scientists have long been frustrated trying to find complementary data from other scientists that could potentially help with current research. The lack of searchable infrastructure and the proliferation of storage locations made conducting any kind of search challenging. Data would originally be stored on disk-based NAS storage systems, and later migrated to tape, where files were especially difficult to find and retrieve. Once researchers found a file, if it wasn’t applicable to their current research, the cumbersome search process had to be repeated, costing valuable time. The Solution: Inexpensive Object Storage with Rich Metadata Tags for Quick and Accurate Search Join Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (part of the National Institute of Health's National Cancer Institute) as they discuss how they manage their enterprise scientific data and the lessons they learned along the way. Some key talking points include: - setup a system that will evolve over time - removed disruption to users - managed security requirements - onboarded labs - DME adoption insights Speakers: Sunita Menon, Bioinformatics and Computational Science (BACS) Directorate, Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research Eric Stahlberg, PhD, Director, Cancer Data Science Initiatives, Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research
