Data Storage

Here we outline some best practices for data storage.

Proper use of Filesystems

Small amounts of data may be transferred via the login nodes, using scp or rsync
Medium amounts of data must be transferred using the protocol nodes
Large amounts of data can be transferred via the protocol nodes, using samba. Alternatively, you can bring an external hard drive to us and we can directly transfer your data
Regularly remove temporary data stored in the scratch filesystem, as this will be used for vast amounts of temporary data
Data no longer used should be removed, as DeepSense is not intended for long term storage
Check your space usage regularly to make sure you are below your quota
When your project/account are closed, please remove all data
To help us avoid restricting the storage policies, please use the space conscientiously
