Thank you for your application. How many petabytes of data does your school have in total? How has enrollment been this year? If you were to purchase data, what type of data would you need?

You're welcome! Here are the details:

Total Data Storage: The university currently manages approximately 10 petabytes of data, including research archives, academic records, administrative information, and cultural heritage archives.

Enrollment Trends: This year, enrollment has been steady, with a slight increase of around 5% compared to the previous year. Demand remains strong, particularly in STEM fields and international student programs.

Data Purchase Needs: If we were to purchase data, we would prioritize datasets that support academic and research initiatives, such as:

Scientific and Research Data: Specialized datasets in fields like environmental studies, healthcare, and social sciences. Market and Demographic Data: Information on student demographics, trends, and labor market insights, which can support program planning and student support. Education Industry Data: Benchmarking and analytics data from other educational institutions to enhance operational efficiency and improve student outcomes.
