We’re investing over $15 million to build the Distributed Storage and Compute Grid (DSCG), a foundational step in advancing Canada’s digital research infrastructure. Designed to support secure, scalable and collaborative data workflows, the DSCG will enable researchers to manage, share and analyze data closer to where it is created, across Canadian institutions and jurisdictions. As a key component of the Canadian Research Data Platform (CRDP), this initiative contributes to a more connected, interoperable national research data ecosystem, helping accelerate discovery and innovation across disciplines.    We’re proud to be building this foundational infrastructure in collaboration with University of Calgary, University of Alberta, Red Deer Polytechnic, McGill University, Université Laval, Université de Sherbrooke, and Western University! This initiative is made possible through Short-Term AI investments from Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED).    Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/eD3R2Hve  Learn more about the CRDP: https://lnkd.in/eHQRptma     ______________________________________________________________    Nous investissons plus de 15 millions de dollars pour bâtir le Système de stockage et de calcul en réseau (DSCG), une étape fondamentale pour faire progresser l’infrastructure de recherche numérique du Canada. Conçu pour soutenir des flux de données sécurisés, évolutifs et collaboratifs, le DSCG permettra aux chercheurs et chercheuses de gérer, de partager et d'analyser les données au plus près de l'endroit où elles sont créées, à l'échelle des établissements et des juridictions au Canada. En tant que composante clé de la Plateforme canadienne de données de recherche (PCDR), cette initiative contribue à un écosystème national de données de recherche plus connecté et interopérable, aidant ainsi à accélérer la découverte et l'innovation dans toutes les disciplines. Nous sommes fiers de bâtir cette infrastructure fondamentale en collaboration avec Université de Calgary, Université de l’Alberta, Red Deer Polytechnic, Université McGill, Université Laval, Université de Sherbrooke, et Western University ! Cette initiative a été rendue possible grâce aux Investissements accélérés dans l'IA d'Innovation, Sciences et Développement économique Canada (ISDE).
