[FX.php List] Disk requirements for FMS v13 2-machine deployment

[Ness, David]

I am spec'ing out my new FMS v13 server environment. We plan to use Webdirect, so are opting for the two-machine deployment. I see that, according to FileMaker's docs, 80GB minimum is recommended for a single machine deployment, but in a two-machine deployment, I don't see specific requirements for the second "Web Publishing" machine. I realize that drive space is 'cheap', but as this will be deployed on a very large, enterprise-class, blade, SSD, virtual server system, I'd like to spec the requirements as closely as possible. I also realize that our blade-server allows for live-reconfiguration, so I'll be able to increase it as necessary, but I'd like to give IT a realistic idea ahead of time.

Q: How much drive space should I spec for the Web Publishing machine on a FMS v13, 2-machine deployment?

Thanks!
