Laserfiche System Storage Requirements

Laserfiche Version 9 Administration

Updated November 19, 2013

asked on November 13, 2013

On page 5 (attached) of the Laserfiche White Paper titled "Laserfiche Hardware Planning and Specifications" dated September 2012 there is a grid highlighting Laserfiche recommended storage requirements based upon the number of pages brought into the system each day and also the number of active concurrent users.

My question is, for any level of page per day input volume, for example 200 pages per day, why are the storage requirements not based simply on the number of pages input per day and why are the storage requirements requirements different for the number of active concurrent users?

I hope the question makes sense.

I've wondered this myself.

I assumed it was for overheads, such as audit log files, server temp files, additional database use, predicted version creation etc.

Hi John,

Ben's got it right! The storage recommendations in that whitepaper are not just for the volumes (which will require the same amount of space to store files, regardless of how many users you've got), but for your SQL databases as well. The more users you've got, the more data Laserfiche needs to keep track of, the more storage space you need.

Brett,

If this is the case then, rather than a simple grid, would a formula not be more relevant whereby non-volume storage requirements is calculated by some factor of pages per day and concurrent users?

Many thanks.

John.
