With clients and projects spanning across different continents, Cognate BioServices needed a
secure, robust, cost-effective method to collaborate. The solution had to avoid the need to travel,
yet be available at any time. The virtual data room (VDR) is a concept that fits these requirements.
As a secure virtual space for holding data of any kind, a VDR typically runs on a server connected
to a network and may only be accessed by those who are authorized to do so.
