A medical research team is collecting data for a global clinical trial. The data is stored in many different departments around the world. Members from multiple organizations collaborate and frequently merge records to maintain a complete dataset. The team has limited on-site infrastructure. Which storage approach helps maintain reliable access for everyone while accounting for local resource challenges?
Establish local servers within the primary organization
Enable cloud-based storage with access for external participants
Provide external hard drives to all individuals
Use shared folders on each team’s internal network
Cloud-based storage allows geographically dispersed teams to easily access and update shared datasets. It offers flexible resource usage and security controls. Local servers in a single location do not efficiently support global collaborations with limited on-site resources. External drives provide portability but are difficult to keep synchronized among different teams. Shared folders on internal networks are restricted to local environments and cannot easily handle global collaboration needs.
