Fig. 1 — Active projects and used storage by bioinformatics projects. a UPPMAX HPC center in Sweden; b storage space dedicated to compressed sequencing data at CRS4. UPPMAX started logging storage utilization in 2011. We observe that the storage demand increases with the number of active projects. The irregularities in storage use are due to: at the end of 2012 a new storage system was installed, resulting in temporary data duplication as the systems were synchronized; at the beginning of 2015, the two sharp dips are due to problems with data collection. The storage usage plot from CRS4 has data ranging from mid-2013 to the first quarter of 2015. The plot only includes the space dedicated to storing compressed raw sequence data (fastq files; no raw data or aligned sequences), but still illustrates the upward trend in storage requirements
