Costs Associated with Storage

  • Please see Cost of Resources/wiki/spaces/AIP/pages/1627815937

    • If users require quota increases on storage, they may apply for a one-time, no-cost capacity increase by providing written justification for the amount of extra storage and it’s benefit to the UW mission of research, education and economic development.

      • This capacity increase lasts for the life of the storage system (typically 3 years), the increase must be approved by ARCC Leadership, and is subject to a 10TB max limit.

      • In all other cases, the user will be charged per Cost of Resources as listed here /wiki/spaces/AIP/pages/1627815937.

  • Users may request capacity increases on the ARCC Service Portal.
