Requesting Additional Storage

Personal Quota

We do not offer increases in personal storage quotas.

Compute Project Quota

For users with an approved compute time project, we recommend using the designated projects directories (e.g. /home/<project-id>) to store files involving their compute jobs. If you require additional storage for your compute project, send a request to the IT-ServiceDesk including the following details:

  • What is the ID of your compute time project?
  • On which filesystem do you require additional space ($HOME, $WORK, $HPCWORK)?
  • How much storage space do you need?
  • In case of $HPCWORK, do you also need an increase of the file quota and if yes by how much?
  • For what duration do you require the additional quota?

Please note that the storage in $HOME is very expensive due to its backup solution. If additional storage is required, we encourage users to first consider a quota increase in $WORK and $HPCWORK.

Storage Space for Research Groups

Research groups needing shared storage space on the cluster can request the creation of a group. Default file quotas across the different file systems is provided for these groups.
