Storage Quotas and Quota Increases

Summary

Storage quotas for department and personal shares, and how to request an increase.

Body

Storage Quota for Department Shares

Initially, departmental/group shares are allotted 10 GB per user. That allotment (or quota) may be increased as needed. The department representative must submit a Quota Increase ticket to request increases in space. 

For extraordinary needs such as large data sets, OIT may recommend the purchase of additional storage devices to accommodate departmental/group needs. OIT staff will consult with the department or group managers to evaluate needs and help with the selection and installation of hardware compatible with the University infrastructure.  

Storage Quota for Personal Shares

Initially, personal shares are allotted 5 GB per user. That allotment (or quota) may be increased as needed. Individual owners must submit a Quota Increase ticket to request increases in space. Before a quota can be increased, OIT will need to verify that the share is only being used to store work related data.
