How can I know when I reached space limitations

Question

Hi, I want to know what happens when an enviorment reachs its space limitation.
I know that space available is 30mb per user and the only way to know how much space you've consumed is by calculations about the number of registers.
But I'd like to know how can I know when I reached that limit and what is the procediment to buy more space (overall how much time it takes).
Every comment will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Answer 1

We recently instituted a new CRM On Demand storage policy and we realize it hasn’t been disseminated as broadly as it should be. This new policy is significantly more generous than the former policy at no additional charge. We used to offer 30MB pooled storage for Multi-tenant, 45MB for Single-Tenant Standard Edition, and 60MB for Single-Tenant Enterprise Edition (this space covered standard records and attachments).
Customers often think in terms of records and not MB, especially when they are considering importing x million contacts or other records. An average record uses 2KB. We have made the following changes:
1)     Multi-tenant. Converted the 30MB to 15,000 records. Added 100MB per user for attachments;
2)     Single-Tenant Standard edition. Converted the 45MB to 22,500 records. Added 150MB per user for attachments;
3)     Single-Tenant Enterprise edition. More than doubled the 60MB to 70,000 records. Added 200MB per user for attachments;
In summary the new limits are:
Storage Allotment by CRM OD Offering______     Records per User_____Megabytes for Attachments to Records per User
Multi-Tenant___________________________15,000 ____________100
Single-Tenant Standard Edition_____________22,500 ____________150
Single-Tenant Enterprise Edition____________70,000 ____________200
A couple of additional notes:
•     When counting records we are only counting primary data records. Meta-data and configuration records don’t count against the limit.
•     Usage is pooled as before (i.e. a customer receives the amount of storage per subscriber as listed above multiplied by number of subscribers).
