User story feedback on Research Facilitation. "They make a big difference in providing storage that is backed up and easy to use."
Summary: Louise contacted us in September 2018 seeking guidance on increasing storage of her team's N and S drives for their anonymised data. I provided guidance relevant to their need and suggested use of the Research Data Storage Service. Louise applied for that and they began using it about 2 weeks later. I organised a Researchers drop-in at the Institute in the 2nd week of October and we met there. Louise said she was happy with using RDS.
