Micro content question ?

[paulkeogh]

I've a use case for alfresco where I want to store millions of pieces of "content" - user records to be precise.

Does the alfresco content model scale down to storing millions of pieces of
micro content (eg. several small properties, no body per se) ?

Or would I be better advised developing this as a separate application, integrated maybe at a GUI level on the alfresco web client ?

We have added over 5 million documents of varying sizes to a repository, so I don't see why you couldn't add millions of much smaller documents. If running on a windows server, you would be best to make sure your disk cluster size is quite small for most efficient usage of the disk space, as millions of files at a few bytes in size would still take up a minimum of ClusterSize*Files in bytes even if they are very small.

Thanks,
