Disk space to accommodate growth of the Oracle WebCenter Analytics database. Growth is directly correlated to the number of events occurring. Events include such things as page views, portlet views, user logins, and discussion posts. Estimate 100 MB of growth per 1 million events. For example, if your portal receives roughly 1 million events per day, you should anticipate growth of 36.5 GB per year.
