# Lab management

# New lab

Click the button below to order a new lab under your existing data space.

  • Who can order: Data space leaders and data space compliance administrators in active data spaces.
  • Required attachment: A signed lab order and information on storage volume sizes and machine type for the home machine (see below).
  • Expected delivery time: One week.
  • Next step: Add your first lab users.
  • Cost: One lab subscription as specified in the Services specifications and Price list.

Next: Add your first lab user(s)

It's important that you order lab access for each scientist (lab user) that will work in your lab as soon as you send us the above Lab order. Without these, your scientists will not be able to access your new lab.

More on the required resource specifications

Your lab comes with one (1) machine with computational resources and attached storage by default. We call this your home-machine.

Machine type

For cost savings, we recommend that you start with the default.b2 machine type. And if needed, upgrade to larger machine types when your scientists are well onboard in your new lab and ready to explore. You may specify alternative machines types in the order if you know you need other sizes right away.

Storage volumes

Your lab comes with three (3) storage volumes attached to your home machine. We have suggested default sizes on these volumes that you may want to change.

Volume types

i) the archive volume is tailored for data storage, such as your raw data and results; ii) the work volume is tailored for your data in your day-to-day activities that your want to preserve, such as code files; and iii) the scratch volume is tailored for temporary analytical files, such typically generated in intermediate steps of your analysis. Note that the scratch volume do -not- include our restore service (backup).

Volume sizes

The minimum storage allocation of the three volumes is 1000 Gigabytes (1 Terabyte). We have suggested a default allocation that you may update if you like:

ARCHIVE = 400 WORK = 300 SCRATCH = 300

The above numbers are in Gigabytes (1000 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte). To illustrate, if you want your archive volume to be 2 Terabyte, specify ARCHIVE = 2000 in your order.

More information

See the "Lab" section in our Services specifications for more information on the lab service and default configuration. Contact us if you need guidance on the size selection.
