URI has been part of the National Science Foundation’s Open Storage Network (OSN) for 3 years. OSN is a collaborative between 17 top research institutions that is designed to storage vast amounts of valuable research data and allow for sharing over a high-speed network. Each institution has a storage “Pod” with over a petabyte of capacity. URI’s Pod is hosted in one of OSHEAN’s data centers that allows for extremely high-speed connectivity across the region and nationally.
