Hard Disk Space Utilization
Approximately 1600 MB of hard disk space is used on the server for program software.
Additional hard disk space is used for voice mail, call detail records (main server only),
and log files.
Voice Mail
Each user’s voice mail messages are stored on his or her respective server. The hard disk
space used on each server for voice mail varies depending on the number of users, the
number of messages per user, and the duration of each message.
You need approximately 30 MB of hard disk space per hour for voice mail storage.
Table 10-4 provides some conservative guidelines to estimate the amount of hard disk
space used for voice mail, assuming each user has 15 one-minute voice messages.
Call Detail Records
For each call on the ShoreTel 6.1 system, call detail records are generated on the main
server. The hard disk space used on the server for call detail records varies depending
on the call load on the system. The amount of hard disk space for a typical system is
shown in Table 10-5. If you have a high call volume, ShoreTel recommends that you
manually maintain the amount of space used on the disk by deleting or moving the
older monthly archived CDR files.
