# DataSHIELD
|
|
|
|
|
|
This module constitutes the infrastructure to run DataSHIELD within the bridghead.
|
|

## R-Studio
|
|
|
|
|
|
To connect to the different bridgeheads of the CCP through DataSHIELD, you can use your own R-Studio environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, this R-Studio has already installed the DataSHIELD libraries and is integrated within the bridgehead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This can save you some time for extra configuration of your R-Studio environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
## Opal
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the core of DataSHIELD. It is made up of Opal, a Postgres database and an R-server.

### Opal-DB
|
|
|
|
