Data Infrastructure Working Group

This group was formed in 2010 to identify deficiencies and obstacles in the Lab's ability to store, manage, share and archive data, and investigate and recommend remedial actions. There is a website here ( accessible locally or via the VPN).

Remote Connection to Haskins

It is now possible to establish a remote connection to the Haskins internal network, enabling access to local laboratory resources from anywhere. It requires a "VPN (Virtual Private Network)" account; please see Richard Crane

to have this set up.
