When it comes to storage for Dynamics 365, Microsoft splits what’s currently known as “Database Storage” into three separate buckets:
1. Database capacity,
2. File capacity, and
3. Log capacity –
and categorising it under the Dataverse, which is the underlying service for Dynamics 365.
•Database capacity consists of metadata.
•File capacity refers to attachments.
•Log capacity refers to log files that are created in the system.
Users will get 10 GB of database capacity, 20 GB of file capacity, and 2 GB of log capacity by default and receive incremental capacity for each full access user added: 250 MB of database capacity, 2 GB of file, and no additional log capacity per full access user. Additional storage can be purchased at $40/GB/month for database, $2/GB/month for file and $10/GB/month of log capacity, on an as-needed basis.
It's hard to accurately estimate the storage growth requirements for Zavanti. It depends on the amount of data that needs to be migrated before go live and the anticipated addition on new properties in the system. As an estimate based on previous implementations client that has approx. 2500 properties who has used Zavanti for over a year have the below statistics.
•Database – 15-20 Gb
•File – 20 -30 Gb
•Log File – 4 – 5 Gb
Below is an estimate cost of Azure Functions consumption based on a 6-month period.
