What is STAR?

STAR is a platform offering robust and scalable servers, storage, data analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, secure data transfer and data collaboration, along with many additional computing services—all while featuring enterprise-level security and cost-effective cloud solutions.

STAR replaces outdated purchasing and implementation methods for researchers, which previously took months for configuring servers and storage, and instead streamlines processes down to mere days—or in some cases just a few hours—by using secure, cloud-based tools with a self-service workflow.
