We have approx 4000 clients, and we store approx 25 pages for each client (contracts, bank statements, copies of drivers licence etc). The client�s files are stored in a manual filing system (filing cabinets) at the moment. (which obviously takes up a lot of space).
If I scan the docs into a PDF file (all the docs are text documents), the file size is approx 1MB (per client). These files need not be accessed on a daily basis, but when the information is needed we must be able to get at it almost instantly (like walking up to the filing cabinet and taking out a file). Any ideas on archiving these PDF files? Is it just a case of putting them all in one directory? If so is there a limit on the number of files in a directory and does the number of files affect performance? Although this is not a Coldfusion problem, I will have to link it into my CF application. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
