Hard disk size variables for Acceptance and Production environments

Both your Content Manager and Content Delivery database servers need a hard disk that can accommodate the managed content size or published content size, respectively.

Content Manager database

The Content Manager database in a Production environment requires a hard disk size of 30 GB + (3 * size of managed content in bytes).

Content Delivery database

The Content Delivery database in a Production environment requires one of the following hard disk sizes of 30 GB + (3 * size of published content in bytes). Note that your published content size is difficult to predict because it depends on various aspects of your system:

  • Amount of static content vs dynamic content
  • How much of the managed content is rendered as published content (determined by your templating code and the choice of Template)
  • Amount of Web sites you publish to
