Enterprise Vault.cloud™ Lync Connector Administration Guide

To calculate the Lync Connector working folder space requirements

• The space requirements of the completed subfolder usually dominate the space requirements of the Lync Connector working folder. The completed subfolder keeps the original extracted version of each successfully processed transcript for a configurable period. To estimate the disk space that the completed subfolder requires, multiply together the following:

  • (Number of Lync users who are archived to the Lync archiving database)

  • x (Average number of conversations per day, per user)

  • x (Retention period for the completed folder, in days). The default retention period is 30 days. You can set this value when you run the Lync Connector configuration wizard.

  • x (Average size of each transcript)

  For example, suppose that you have 100,000 Lync users, each of whom participates in an average of five Lync conversations per day. If the average transcript size is 3 KB and the retention period for the completed folder is 30 days, the calculation is:

  100,000 x 5 x 30 x 3 KB = 45,000,000 KB, or approximately 5 GB.

  Note:

  We recommend that you allow a minimum of 10 GB of free space, even if this calculation produces a lower figure.
