Additional Instance Space Subscription in Merciglobal Cloud ERP¶
Smart Storage, Seamless Scaling
Each project in Merciglobal Cloud ERP is provisioned with a default 10GB instance space — generally sufficient for 5–10 years of typical business data. However, depending on data volume and usage, you may need to opt for an Additional Instance Space Subscription.
Included in Your Instance Space¶
Compute Instance Disk Space¶
- Stores core platform program files and project-level customizations.
Database Instance Disk Space¶
- Allocated for structured data storage and indexing.
Key Considerations¶
- 📁 Uploaded files (e.g., images, documents, PDFs) consume disk space.
- 📊 More data entries and modules increase DB usage.
- 🧾 Table structure and number of columns impact storage needs.
- 📐 Total DB Disk =
(Total Rows × Columns) + Index File Sizes - 🔄 Nightly optimizations help reduce database bloat.
- ❗ Backup storage is excluded from usage calculations.
- 📉 MySQL disk usage is dynamic and can vary slightly.
How Space Usage is Calculated¶
Instance Space Breakdown¶
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| 📂 Disk Space | Includes uploaded files + ~150MB of ERP program and report files |
| 🧬 Database Space | Comprises row data and indexes (not visually accessible to users) |
Disk Space Includes:¶
- ERP platform files and custom project reports
- Uploaded user files (attachments, images, PDFs)
💡 Save space by enabling Auto Compression Subscription: - Compresses images & PDFs in real-time - Saves 30%–90% storage space - 🎛️ Enable via User Profile > Settings
Database Space Includes:¶
- 🔢 Row Length (data)
- 📑 Index Length
- Depends on the number of forms and entry modules
High Availability (HA) DB Cluster¶
- Disk usage is counted only once, even in multi-instance setups
Why Additional Space is a Paid Subscription¶
Cloud Resource Costs¶
- Each GB consumed incurs additional charges on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
- Merciglobal minimizes costs through optimization, but extra space must be covered by the user
💰 Pricing Details¶
| Plan Description | Cost | Billing Cycle | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Additional 10GB Instance Space | USD 10/month + GST | Annually | Paid upfront for 12 months |
💡 Includes storage for files and database space beyond default 10GB.
