CEDARS server storage strategy & future growth management

Discuss our approach to managing CET run storage and planning for future growth.

Key points to consider:

• Current approach: All CET runs (inputs and outputs) are currently stored indefinitely.

• Problem: This leads to increasing storage demands.

Discussion points:

1. Should we remove test runs after a certain period?

2. Partial deletion:

   • Should we keep inputs only and delete outputs after a period?

   • Note: CET versions change, which may make old inputs unusable for reruns or audits.

   • Should we apply retention policies only to community users while keeping full data for PAs?

3. Position on file storage:

   • Reinforce that users are expected to track and store files internally.

   • CET is not intended to act as a long-term file repository.
