Comparison of data repositories
Each data repository has its advantages and disadvantages. Use this table to determine which data
repository solution matches your priorities. For example, if security is a primary concern for you,
consider setting up an SFTP or HTTPS server. If you are looking for a data repository solution that
is easy to implement, the BCM50, a personal computer, and a USB drive are all relatively easy to
set up.
The following sections contain information to help you choose the best data repository solution for
your environment and provide tips for implementation.
