Hello Forum,
This question is regarding Appian inbuilt document management system.
What are the storage considerations that we must consider when implementing a document storage solution where the document size is of 10GB and around 10,000 documents a year or more and also indexing and searching capabilities.
Thanks in advance.

I think you should not keep those documents in the same appian server. Rather you should have a document repository where you can save these documents and fetch it when requried. SharePoint is one of the examples and Appian provides out of the box connector functions for SharePoint.

@sidhanth, thanks for the reply. I have already gone through the same but it is no where specifically mentioned about my question. There is a question on performance factors as well when such large volumes of data are dealt with.

Appian will just save the files to disk. So you already have your calculation. Filesize * Number of files. Appian itself will not index the files itself and has no built in search capabilities. It is meant to keep files while they are needed in processes.
