Possibly, but often (in fact sensibly) the results are saved in the first instance to the local machine because any network issue and boom your results are gone as doing the analysis destroys the sample. That in life sciences can easily mean several days and $1000. The results are then uploaded automatically to the file server. That gets a whole bunch more complicated. Honest you simply don't want to go there getting it to be done different. It would be less painful to have a tooth extracted without anesthetic. JAB. -- Jonathan A.
