Hi Patrícia, DSpace itself uses the filesystem for storage. So you are only limited by your available file system space. So, if your 3 million items take up 3TB of space, then you will need to ensure DSpace has access to 3TB worth of local (or mounted) storage space.
In the past (DSpace 1.6 and previous) there were some performance issues with DSpace when you stored millions of items. However, we've made some significant performance/scalability improvements to DSpace 1.7.x. So, at this point in time, we believe you will achieve good performance when storing millions of items (admittedly, most large DSpace installs just store hundreds of thousands of items, so we haven't done much testing with millions of items). That being said, to achieve optimal performance, you likely will need to ensure your server has appropriate memory and processing power. We have some hints on ways to performance tune your DSpace installation on our wiki at: * https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/SystemAdministrators * https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/HowToPerformanceTuneForDspace If you run into any issues, please feel free to email our DSpace Technology list: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech/ Good luck, - Tim On 6/16/2011 5:00 PM, Patricia Coelho Ferreira Meneses da Silva wrote: > Hi! > Anyone know what the storage capacity of Dspace to version 1.7.1?
