Situation: you start your bioinformatics project very happy that you will be analyzing your sequencing data, be it transcriptomic, genomic or epigenomic; you have learned bash, R and statistics, and then you try to transfer all of the data to your computer, and then you see that, bleh, you don’t have enough storage on your computer. Then what?
You start panicking? No!
You start searching the web for any information on that, and come up with a gazillion new terms that you have never heard before. Server, cluster, cloud computing, ssh, ssd, bucket, to enumerate a few. And now you panic for real.
