I am part of a group of engineers that works together on simulations; we are having trouble figuring out how to store/access simulation output files.
- Each simulation study generates ~20GB of output files. Presently we run 1-2 studies/week.
- Simulation output files must be read/write accessible from several local computers.
- A study's files may need to be accessible for a few years.
- Our company is small with limited IT budget/support.
In the past we have either saved the simulation output on one of the local computers and shared a directory with the other computers, or saved the simulation output in a network location that we can mount as a drive on the local computers. Both solutions are running out of room.
What approaches make sense for sharing/accessing this volume of data?
