A UK research lab keeps petabytes of microscope data on Storinators and spends the savings on science.
The situation
The MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge generates 2 to 8TB of imaging data a day.
What they did
It holds about 4PB on five 45Drives Storinators across two replicated sites, with daily backups.
The result
The cost savings freed budget for more lab experiments and equipment.
Why it matters
Storage spend that stays in the budget is money that goes back into the mission.
