Best IT Solutions for Managing Research Data?

Hi everyone,

I work in a biotech research environment where we handle large datasets related to Jurkat cells and CHO cells for various experiments. As our research grows, so does the need for a secure, efficient, and scalable IT infrastructure to store, process, and analyze our data.

I was wondering if anyone here has experience with IT solutions for research labs. Specifically:

What are the best database management systems for handling biological research data?
Are there recommended secure storage solutions for large datasets (on-prem vs. cloud)?
How do you balance performance and security when working with sensitive scientific information?
Would love to hear insights from IT professionals who’ve worked with research institutions or biotech companies.

Thanks in advance!
