To determine the database size required, do the following:
Allocate 25 GB as a base.
Allocate 30 KB for indexed Net Folders.
Allocate 20 KB for non-indexed Net Folders.
Allocate 10 KB per user.
(F * 30 KB * indexed_NF )+(F * 20 KB * non-indexed_NF)+(U * 10 KB)=Size
Key:
F=Number of Files
NF=Net Folders
U=Number of Users
1,000,000 files (75% indexed; 25% non-indexed) and 1,000 users
750,000 files * 30 KB = 22,500,000 KB
250,000 files * 20 KB = 5,000,000 KB
1,000 Users * 10 KB = 10,000 KB
Initial Estimate of Database size is 26 GB.
The MySQL appliance is delivered to help you get started with the Filr system.
If you have an in-house Database Administrator and an enterprise MySQL installation, Novell recommends that you leverage that resource and take advantage of your existing infrastructure. Filr supports MySQL 5.0.96 through 5.5.x.
