Essbase uses disk space for its server software and for each database. Before estimating disk storage requirements for a database, you must know how many dimensions the database includes, the sparsity and density of the dimensions, the number of members in each dimension, and how many of the members are stored members.
To calculate the disk space required for a database:
Calculate the factors identified in Calculating the Factors to Be Used in Sizing Disk Requirements.
Calculate the total disk space required for Essbase Server.
See Estimating the Total Essbase Server Disk Space Requirement.
