No policy here. People can keep stuff as long as they like. I don’t agree
with that lack of policy, but that’s where we are.
We did propose a 90 day limit, about 10 years ago. It lasted about, er, 90
days, before faculty started screaming. ☺

For our larger groups, we'll meet with them regularly to discuss their space
usage (and other IT needs). Even that's unlikely to be frequent enough, so we
direct usage alerts to their designated "data manager" if they're getting close
to running out of space. Aside from regularly clearing out scratch space,
though, we try to stay out of deletion decisions, to avoid problems stemming
from miscommunication between the group and IT, or even within the group (left
hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing).

Hey All,
I was hoping to get some recommendations for Storage. Last year we set up our
first HPC and I’m looking for a good strategy moving forward for Storage. We
set up a dedicated space on the cluster for Storage that has 5.5 TB of space.
This space can be quickly chewed up depending on the project the business is
working on. Do you guys typically do a retention policy on the cluster to
ensure there is always enough space? I was thinking anything older than a month
should be cleaned up.
Thanks!
