Scientific Computing World is seeking participants for an exclusive virtual roundtable (limited to 6–8 participants) in July (date TBC) for those in scientific research exploring the best data storage strategies for the future.
Entitled From bytes to breakthroughs: data storage challenges in scientific research, the not-for-broadcast roundtable will provide an opportunity for research and IT leaders to share experiences with peers. With scientific research generating vast amounts of data, choosing the right storage infrastructure - whether on-premises, hybrid, or cloud-based - is becoming more complex. Legal and regulatory requirements, AI-driven data processing, environmental sustainability, and resource scarcity are all key factors shaping the future of data management.
Why Attend?
This roundtable provides a rare opportunity to:
- Gain actionable insights from peers facing similar data storage challenges
- Shape future solutions by sharing what research leaders need from storage providers
- Exchange real-world experiences on security, accessibility, costs, and scalability
- Discuss the impact of AI on data storage, management, and regulatory compliance
- Understand evolving environmental and sustainability factors in storage decisions
- Anticipate data storage scarcity as demand outpaces infrastructure growth
Who Should Attend?
- Scientific project, programme, and research group leaders
- CTOs, IT directors, and system architects
- Leaders in academic or commercial research organisations
Topics We'll Cover:
- Current data storage setups and decision-making processes
- Challenges in security, retrieval, accessibility, and performance
- How research-driven data needs have evolved - and what’s next
- The legal and regulatory landscape shaping storage choices
- AI’s impact on data storage, processing, and compliance
- Addressing concerns about storage infrastructure choices, including cloud, hybrid, and on-premises solutions
- The future of data storage availability as demand grows
- What providers can offer to better support scientific data management and sustainability
This roundtable will provide an opportunity to explore the evolving landscape of data storage, including the challenges of regulation, AI-driven data processing, environmental sustainability, and resource constraints - helping leaders make informed choices in an increasingly complex field.
Seats are limited - to apply for a place at the discussion, please contact the moderator Warren Clark.
The roundtable is being held in partnership with Seagate.
