Data Storage

The data storage solution that best suits your research needs will depend on the type of data being used and the maximum storage capacity required. Research data compiled and generated at UTSA falls into three categories: Confidential (category I), Controlled (category II), and Published (category III). See the infographic below for definitions and examples of data that fall under each category.
