IDRE offers two types of data storage for UCLA researchers. For storage associated with jobs on the HPC clusters (both the Virtual Research Shared Cluster and the General Purpose Cluster), users have the option of paying a per terabyte, per year, charge for storage on our HPC storage system. This is particularly an important option for those that need more than the 20 GB directory space per user that is standard on the Research Virtual Shared or General Purpose Cluster or that want increased permanent space for large data sets to avoid recurring upload and transfer times. For more information, visit the HPC Storage page on this website. To purchase storage, please go to https://rim.idre.ucla.edu/secure/storage.php

For longer-term solutions, IDRE also operates the Cloud Archival Storage Service (CASS), a simple and flexible storage system for remote storage, archiving, and backup of research data (1TB minimum). For more information, visit the CASS page on this website, or contact IDRE CASS Support. IDRE CASS Data Use Agreement
