Example Calculation

• Calculate Storage Available for Emails
  1. Total storage space = 1,000 GB
  2. OS/filesystem overhead = 11% or 110 GB
  3. Available storage from factory = total - overhead = 890 GB
  4. 20% of each ComplianceVault is dedicated to DB entries and message indexing
  5. Truly available storage = storage from factory - message indexing or 712 GB
• Calculate Client's Usage Rate
  1. Client's mail server has 650 users
  2. An average user gets 8 emails per day
  3. Average email size is 50KB(0.0000477 GB)
  4. This client will use (users * emails per day * email size bytes) of storage each day, or 90.5 GB of storage per year
• Calculate Time Until Machine is Full
  1. (available storage / storage per year) = 7.867 years or 7 years 10 months until full

A model CV1U 1000 ComplianceVault will last this client approximately 7 years and 10 months.
