The SingAREN Database Mirroring Service is a strategic initiative in collaboration with the Singapore Advanced Research and Education Network (SingAREN), offering Sri Lanka’s research and academic community seamless access to crucial international scientific databases. This service ensures high-speed, low-latency access to mirrored data resources, enabling institutions to perform data-intensive research without relying on overseas connectivity.
This service builds on a successful partnership with SingAREN, leveraging their expertise in establishing efficient data mirroring solutions for the research community in Singapore and beyond. By mirroring key databases locally, LEARN continues its commitment to fostering a robust research and education network in Sri Lanka.
Enjoy Significant Time Savings with the SingAREN Database Mirroring Service
The SingAREN Database Mirroring Service dramatically reduces the time required to download large datasets compared to accessing them directly from international sources. By leveraging locally mirrored databases, researchers benefit from faster download speeds and improved reliability.
