Raj,
maybe others have a different view on this but I think just throwing you a number is quite useless. It all depends on YOUR data storage strategy/policy. How long can researchers store/use their data. What are their maxed quota...Is it backuped elsewhere, how many users. Is it public.... what kind of data (eukaryote genome sequencing or RNA seq projects....or small viral bacterial genomes).
We have a public server with limited resource mainly to display our own tools. It's getting used more and more within the university.... we started at 2T but quickly encountered storage problems. we now moved to 8T. But have to say our data is mainly of microbial origin.
Good luck on the config.
Alex

Hello,
I am trying to come up with a number for our local galaxy storage requirements when we go live (This is an installation for research at our university).
I checked out the survey that was done a while back for the GalaxyAdmins. It seems that the bigger installations have allocated about 200TB for their installation.
It would be of great help to me if I can get some feedback on storage used by local galaxy installations. If possible please use the following format:
Total capacity: Used capacity: Storage Technology: Comments:
Thank you all very much. -Raj
