Washington University in St. Louis supports 100+ NIH research projects with RackTop

Washington University in St. Louis required a data storage solution for its Biomedical Mass Spectrometry Resource that would fit within its budget, ensure long-term retention of critical research data without loss or corruption, and support its mixed environment of Windows and Linux machines.
