🚀 New Storage Management Features in the TigerData Web Portal

New features to understand storage consumption and request new storage on existing projects are now available in the TigerData Web Portal for all users. These features offer a more detailed view of how your total storage usage is calculated in your project and provide mechanisms to request additional storage, as well as Globus support for projects already live in the system–all directly in the Web Portal.

Who is this for?

  • Primary audience:
    • Data Managers and Data Sponsors now have much easier access to details on their projects’ storage usage and faster methods to request storage increases and changes to connection options.
  • Secondary audience:
    • System Administrators will save time as users no longer need to submit help tickets to see a breakdown of their storage usage, and requests for storage increases and connection options changes are streamlined.
  • Also benefiting:
    • Data Users can see the breakdown of storage usage on any of their assigned projects, so they can discuss with their Data Managers or Sponsors whether adjustments may be needed.

What’s new?

Storage Usage Overview

  • At the top of your Project Page, you can now find more information about how your project is consuming storage space. Your total usage is broken down into three categories:
    • Project Files: the active contents of your project directory, which you can access via the file mounts you have set up for your project
    • Old Versions: the overwritten versions of project files, which TigerData systems retain by default and can restore if needed
    • Recycle Bin: the project files that have been marked for deletion by project members, but which TigerData systems retain by default and can restore if needed
  • By clicking “Details” in the storage box on your Project Page, you can also view a larger graphical representation of your storage usage, along with more contextual information and a link out to detailed documentation

Requesting More Storage

  • Within the Storage Usage Overview, Data Sponsors and Data Managers have the option to request more storage for a project, which now brings you to an integrated, simplified request form directly in the Web Portal
    • You can simply fill out a few quick fields right there in the Web Portal
    • Click “Submit” to automatically open a request for more storage with the backend team

Need Globus? Request it!

  • Under the “Details” tab on your Project Page, you can find an improved presentation of your connection options, including accessing your project from Research Computing clusters, enabling network file sharing on personal computers, and support for high-performance data transfers via Globus
  • If you are a Data Sponsor or Data Manager, and your project doesn’t already have Globus set up for high-performance data transfers, you can now request it with the click of a button
    • Click “Request” from the Connection Options section of your Project Details page, and then confirm (no additional form needed)
    • This will automatically open a ticket with the backend team

Why It’s Exciting

  • This advances the TigerData vision of a simple, integrated data management ecosystem, pulling more project and storage management functionality into one unified interface in the Web Portal
  • It sets us up for further enhancements to storage management, including detailed review of old file versions and recycle bin contents and integrated requests for permanent deletion
