Centera Collection

Can anyone quantify the performance gain from enabling Collections when archiving to a Centera and if I do enable it what size disk should I allocate for the temporary collection files?

     Ed,

    I cant give you actual % increase in performance when archiving data using Collections but what i cal tell you is that you wont need much disk space because as soon as the files are collected and hit 10MB they are bundeled into a C-Clip and sent to Centera.

    I created a collections folder on the drives for my indexes and it uses little space so it has no effect on my indexes. If you have a few gig to spare on the indexes disk put the collections there

    While not so much of a performance boost, you will store fewer objects on a Centera.  On a Centera, not only are you limited to the amount of data you can store, but also how many objects you store.
