Database and File Size
Database Size
(Transaction data per typical request) * (Number of users) * (Number of typical requests per day) * (Time required to maintain access).
Example: 300 bytes/request * 30 users * 10 requests/day * 365 days = 33 MB.
To account for variations in request volume over time, we recommend doubling this number.
Document Storage Size
(Document size) * (Number of users) * (Typical number of documents per day) * (Retention period to keep the document).
Estimated document sizes: 2 MB (Color); 500 KB (Mono).
Example: 2 MB * 100 users * 10 documents/day * 1 day = 2 GB.
To account for differences in the average job size, we recommend tripling this number.
Network Bandwidth (Estimation)
Assuming the typical request size is 500 KB and the file transfer size is 2 MB per document. The calculation is done in two steps:
Step 1:
X = (# Requests per day * {(% Typical * 0.5 MB) + (% Documents * 2 MB)}) / (Working hours in a day).
Step 2:
(X / 3600) * 2 to convert to MB/s and to account for data traveling in each direction. This will provide an estimate of network traffic in MB/second. This estimate may vary if, for example, the requests occur steadily throughout the day.
