Author CMS Data Requirements

We are in the process of converting an "asp web site" to CMS. Our existing
web site has many PDF's, images, etc. These all reside on the server in a
Folder\file. Since CMS is a database driven architecture, I was wondering if
anyone could assist me with some sort of estimate of how much disk space I
will need.

I know that this is hard to do especiialy since CMS can version postings
which increases the database size. I also know that CMS stores images, PDFs,
etc as BLOBS in the database. I have no idea of the algorithm or conversion
process used.

We will be using SQLServer 2005 database.

Can anyone help me with a formula or a conversion of text files, pdfs,
images to CMS blob files? I know my file sizes and estimate or number of
files needing to convert to CMS.


Thanks

Tom

Hi Tom,

you should better post this question to an SQL related newsgroups.
As you mentioned: MCMS stores the binaries in blobs.
A sharepoint expert should be able to give you a formula for this.

Cheers,
Stefan
