Data storage

There are three supported options for data storage / archiving:

1. GitHub repositories

GitHub is an online software development platform, and GitHub repositories can store project files, track their revision history, and allow for collaboration, discussion and management among various team members. It’s free, and has become central in the movement toward open-source software.

2. AWS buckets

Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is an object storage service that offers scalability, data availability, security, and performance for projects of different sizes, including for data storage and analytics.

The Hubverse team will provide S3 hosting upon request. Hub administrators who are interested in using S3 should contact the team for more information.

3. Zoltar

Zoltar is a research data repository that stores forecasts made by external models in standard formats and provides tools for retrieval, validation, visualization, analysis, and scoring. Please visit the Zoltar documentation site for more information.
