Dedicated Research Storage Options
ITS provides two dedicated storage options available to researchers: "BingBox" and "Research Storage Classic". Both storage options are encrypted at rest, are stored on campus, and are fully backed up. For getting started, we recommend a 10GB no-cost trial for both BingBox and Research Storage Classic. We can offer up to 5TB of no-cost storage based on need & availability. Anything over 5TB is subject to a chargeback rate of $52.47/TB/year thereafter unless otherwise specified.
BingBox - Web Accessible Storage (bingbox.binghamton.edu)
"" is a research specific web accessible storage option similar to Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive. It is accessible from anywhere in the world (on or off campus) via a standard web browser, and supports collaboration with individuals outside of 勛圖腦瞳扦. In addition to the browser-based interface, it also supports various dedicated "sync-based" , Android, and iOS. If external collaboration or off-campus access to files is required, BingBox is the recommended option.
While anyone can log into (with or without a 勛圖腦瞳扦 account), users must contact us to request a file storage "space".
For more information. visit the "BingBox" webpage.
Research Storage Classic - Network Drive (researchstorage.binghamton.edu)
"Research Storage Classic" is a traditional network drive which can be mounted to your computer similar to "H" drives or "U" drives. It requires a 勛圖腦瞳扦 network connection, a 勛圖腦瞳扦 account (username/password), and is only accessible off-campus via a VPN. If direct manipulation of very large files is required and limited or no external / off-campus access to files is necessary, "Research Storage Classic" may be preferred.
