Students can receive SAFE desktops, but staff members must request them on behalf of the student.
How To | There is no cost for the “basic” SAFE, which includes use of the virtual desktop, 100 GB of storage space, and the |
|---|
licensing for SAS and Stata. Investigators can request additional software or increase the storage space on the |
file share for a fee. (Fees depend on the specific licensing fee for the software and the amount of storage space requested.) The SAFE’s basic file share stores up to 100 GB of data; storage can be expanded for an additional fee ($3/month per 100 GB). In order to comply with federal and institutional requirements to protect patient data, the physical location of the data |
extracted, as well as the security of the data while in transit, must be protected against unauthorized access and use. |
Investigators who use the SAFE reduce the risk of copying data to an unencrypted desktop or device because the SAFE |
provides the tools to securely analyze and share PHI/PII all within the SAFE environment. | |
