When working with data in a research context, be it sensitive data or just BIG data, having the proper tools at our disposal for storage and analysis facilitates more efficient workflow leaving the researcher to focus more on the research itself.
At University of Oslo, we have access to a number of such tools from virtual desktop environments to secure data storage to supercomputers for analysis with high processing demands.
This manual is intended to give new researchers and students a general overview of these environments, provide information on how to apply for their use and help you as a researcher to choose the right environment for your data management and analysis needs.
