Managing a secure and reliable relational database management system (RDBMS) can be both challenging and expensive. The Research Database Complex (RDC) at Indiana University (IU) supports data-intensive research requiring MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. RDC provides database as a service (DBaaS), allowing researchers to utilize this fundamental technology without having to bear the associated costs and risks.

The Scholarly Data Share (SDS) service helps researchers store and share very large datasets with tailored metadata schemas both within or outside of IU. Research Data Services also provides Research Data Management Consulting to help IU researchers optimize their use of available data storage options, plan and track metadata, and develop data management workflows.

For researchers who need help planning their data workflows, determining what metadata they need to track, and storing or sharing their data at different stages of their research, RDS is here to help!
