researchers longer access to the dataa with the aim
of learning more about various brain functions;
brain disorders and other issues.
E. CONCLUSIONS/implications for the field.
The most
compelling aspect of The HNL’s story
is there are solutions on the market there where
one person, such as King, could run
a lab while also being able to conduct important research
into the brain. As a successful implementation within a data‐intensive lab, it is a proof point for
other labs
or research firms looking for a scalable, reliable data protection solution that may be
quickly installed with minimal environment change. As the FalconStor data protection solution is an
out‐of the‐box solution for most environments, King was able to
install it and
forget about it within
a short period of time.
The HNL
research is vital to understanding the brain and how
it processes information in a
variety of
environments. This research may help
lead to breakthrough in a number of areas
including
for conditions such as Parkinson’s, schizophrenia, Autism as well as other disorders.
With a secure data protection solution in place, The HNL could focus on what it does best –
conducting ground breaking research into analyzing the brain
and creating better measurement
and research solutions.
