Hello,
Does anyone out there have a recommendation on the maximum number of files you can have per folder in the vault before seeing a performance hit? I heard somewhere the rule of thumb is 2,000 but I want to confirm. I am implementing EPDM at a new site and the file to folder ratio has come up several times with the implementation team.
Also, what is the recommendation for the number of sub folders per folder? Engineers go crazy with folders (I do not allow them to create them in the vault) so I want to make sure we are not creating too many folders at the new site from the start.
Thanks,
Lucas
For our PDF files, we a series of 9 folders with sub folders for each drawing number.....about 80,000 total. I recorded the time to open each folder containing the sub folders.

This probably depends on how many people are accessing these folders as well. Since these are PDFs that are automatically placed in the folder by a program, the users never browse there, they just search on the files and open them to view.
The average is about 550 files per second on our system running 2009 sp4.
