Aestiva F&B

Footprint

At A Glance

The footprint of Aestiva F&B (the hard-disk space used) consists of the disk space used for the following: the Array engine, application files, system cache files (files used during program execution), and database records.

This page is for companies who want to operate on-premise. If you are hosting with Aestiva, then you will be provided with 50GB of space, which should be adequate.

Aestiva's binary engine plus application files takes up about 50 Megabytes. The amount of space occupied by Aestiva's system caching files depends on user activity, which depends on the number of employee change requests (forms) processed annually. Form database records are typically under 100K each.

In general, hard disk space usage is related to the number and size of the documents stored. A chart showing recommended hard disk space availability is shown below. Hard disk space usage will vary.

Space for Attached Files

If you will be attaching files to your form requests, then allow space for the attachments. In general, when attachments are used, they will demand more space than the application. Plan accordingly.
