Data storage
About the project
QRIScloud offers a reliable, managed data storage service by making the RDSI Research Data Services (ReDS) data collections available to researchers. The aim of ReDS is to fund infrastructure to store research data collections of national merit and collections of interest for future research. Collections that do not qualify for ReDS storage will be considered for an allocation of locally approved data storage for their research data collection.
RDSI storage is a managed storage service. It offers a reliable place to store your data and is designed to complement well managed data storage provided by your institution. It provides a platform for storing and sharing data: to encourage research collaboration and to meet data publication needs.

Apply for QRIScloud storage
To apply for QRIScloud storage for your research data collection, researchers should complete this application form and return it to QCIF by email, post or in person. Address details are on the form. Research is first considered for ReDS storage. Even if it does not meet those requirements, it will be automatically considered for QRIScloud.
If you need help, QCIF’s team of eResearch Analysts can help you complete your application. A project is scheduled to commence shortly to make it easier for researchers to apply for storage online. Researchers are also welcome to apply to other RDSI nodes for storage.
