Hi Vlastik, Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware there are no DSpace installations with many TBs worth of data. (If anyone out there is running DSpace with large amounts of data, we'd definitely love to hear from your experiences!)
I'd hope that DSpace could scale to that level. But, to be completely honest, we've never had anyone attempt it. However, should you have the resources to do this sort of scalability testing, we'd definitely appreciate feedback on any issues you run into (if any). We do our best to ensure that DSpace is scalable. But, as we are a team of volunteers, we don't always have the resources to do extensively large scalability testing (and therefore, we are forced to depend on the community to help report such issues to us). However, we'd do our best to help resolve any issues you'd encounter -- we've worked with others in the past when they've noticed scalability or memory leak issues in DSpace. If you were to encounter issues, it'd likely be memory related issues. In recent releases we've done some work to plug some longer standing memory leaks. But, I cannot guarantee we've located them all. Again though, this is something we'd love feedback on -- we'd want to fix memory leaks as quickly as we can. I'm not sure if that helps or not. - Tim On 4/4/2013 8:44 AM, Vlastimil Krejcir wrote: > Hello all, > > I have been recently ask the question on DSpace scalability - assume the > project: > > 16 millions of items (bistreams size about 230 TB) increasing by 3 > millions items (86 TB) per year > > Is DSpace able to handle this?
