Storage and Project Management

SCINet projects allow users to store their files in a project directory that has a requested storage quota and that is accessible to other SCINet users in the project. This guide describes how to manage a project's storage quotas and how to add or remove users from a project.

There are multiple places to store data on Ceres, Atlas, and Juno that all serve different purposes.

To help identify the file transfer method and documentation you should use, determine the scenario below that best matches your use case:

1. If you are transferring small amounts of data (less than 1 GB), there are multiple file transfer protocols and options that should work well. See Data Transfer to and from Local Computers.
2. If you are moving data to and from cloud resources, see Rclone.
3. For most other data transfer needs, we recommend that you use Globus.
   • If you would like to transfer data to and from your local computer, see Globus Connect Personal.
   • If you are on a SCINet café machine at a SCINet-X location, see Data Transfer via Café Machine.
   • If you would like to transfer data between SCINet infrastructure and a non-SCINet Globus endpoint, please go directly to Globus Data Transfer. 
4. If you have to transfer very large amounts of data and network speed at your location is slow, please submit a request to the Virtual Research Support Core (VRSC) to ingress data from a hard drive as described in Large Data Transfer by Shipping External Drives.
