Hi all,

A brief question. Would anyone be willing to share with me a ballpark figure 
(in GBs) on the server storage space requirement for a Koha library with the 
following parameters in mind:


1.       Koha 3.22 (Koha + LAMP software + Unix environment updated to current)

2.       Library:

a.       60,000 bibliographic records

b.      70,000 item records

c.       1000 borrower records

d.      Loan transactions (1 year to date): 4500

e.      Authorities: 0

3.       Annual average growth in biblio: 3500 records

I do realize that one's koha configuration, cataloguing policies, LAMP 
environment, etc. all influence storage capacity (i.e., using the images table, 
etc.). I just need a ballpark for a proposal with the above in mind.

On a related note, has anyone calculated the average "unit size" of, say, a 
monograph record in Koha (biblio + item + image + name authority) for their 
instance?


On my personal instance of Koha (3.22, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, etc.) - which runs on 
a dedicated server (nothing else running), my library stands at about 250 
works, with approx. 330 volumes. Used server storage is about 9.5 gigs, at 
present.

Thanks all!
