Vault Limits

Hi there,

We are currently thinking about rolling Vault out to more developers in my company. This would mean moving away from Sourcesafe completely to Vault.

Now i looked at the size of one of our larger Sourcesafe Databases and we are looking at:

50000 files in the repository
15GB of disk space for the sourcesafe "database"

These projects can not be split into different repositories (shared components).

So my question is can Vault handle repositories like this (and larger). I realize that this has a lot to do with the Server Vault/SQL Server is running on (we are thinking along the lines of 4 processor Xeon, 4GB RAM).

Are there any experiances and would you recommend still moving to vault under these circumstances ?

Thanks for any info,
Herbert.

Vault should be fine with a 50K file database. We test against 500K nodes, and recommend Vault for up to 100K nodes.

That said, every repository has a slightly different structure and is used in slightly different ways. I would suggest importing the data and trying it out to make sure you are happy with it. If you would like a demo license for more users for a longer period of time, contact our sales department, and they can get you set up.

Vault should have no problems with this. 50,000 files isn't "small", but it's not really "large" either. We've got customers with repositories more than twice this size.

One of our test repositories here at SourceGear has 500,000 files in it, however, I admit that this repository is not a real life usage scenario.
