<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#17365D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#17365D">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
