Accelerate Research. Control Data Growth. 
Maximize IT Investments.

 Research universities today are generating an extraordinary amount of unstructured data. Gain the visibility and control needed to optimize infrastructure, manage costs, minimize risk, and ensure your infrastructure investments support research and innovation now and into the future. 

Helping Universities Solve Their Biggest Challenges 

Exponential Data Growth

Research data, AI workloads, multimedia, and collaboration platforms continue to grow faster than available budgets. StorageMAP provides complete visibility into your data so growth can be managed intelligently instead of reactively. 

Optimize Infrastructure Spending

Not every file belongs on premium storage. Identify inactive and aging datasets, reclaim valuable capacity, delay storage purchases, and reduce backup and cloud costs while keeping research data accessible. 

Support AI and Research Innovation

AI and HPC environments require fast, high-value storage. StorageMAP helps ensure premium infrastructure is reserved for active projects by automatically identifying data that can be archived or relocated. 

Strengthen Governance and Reduce Risk 

Know what data you have, where it resides, who owns it, and how it is being used. Improve resilience, reduce unnecessary data exposure, and support institutional governance through greater visibility and control.

University of Manchester 

As one of the UK’s leading research institutions, the University of Manchester faced explosive data growth generated by research activities—up to 15 TB of new data every day. Preparing for a major NAS refresh, the university needed to understand which datasets were still active and which could be archived. 

Using StorageMAP, Manchester gained visibility across billions of files, identified aging research data suitable for archive, and reduced the need for unnecessary primary storage expansion—allowing IT resources to stay focused on supporting research and innovation.
