Hi,
We need to design a solution to handle 5 millions files/month, small files not bigger than 5KB.
Important thing: is not a static system, these files are continuously moved between folders they are copied in different folders and deleted, so the disk is going to be heavily used. If there is no maintenance like archiving the files, zipping them,
then the number of files copied to various folder might exceed 10 millions files.
This is a big concern for us.
Is there any design guidelines, such creating several volumes instead of only a big one, using Linux-based NAS or any specific technology from MS could help out.
Thanks for any suggestion,
