Workspace Size

ChrisG532

Hi,

I've some words I found in a previous post, but I'd like a fresh eyes answer, as I'm interpreting the words one way and then another way - and both interpretations seem sensible to me.

I'd appreciate knowing….

a) Have we been allocated a certain workspace size, for example 80Gb, that we then fill up with models, or

b) Can we create models up to 130Gb, but the size at any point in time is the sum of all models and hubs in a workspace".

The words I found are:

"Workspaces are a combination of a single or multiple models. Workspace size is the total of all models in a workspace, excluding archived models as archived models do NOT count towards workspace size." and

"The maximum amount of workspace that can be allocated for standard workspaces is 130GB".

Thanks,

Chris.

Belated Thanks Tristan!

@ChrisG532 Not to confuse you but model size limits depends on the type of model you have

• Classic model (which is what you most likely have) ⇒ Maximum it can grow is 130Gb
• Hypermodel ⇒ Maximum it can grow is 720Gb
• Polaris ⇒ No limit (someone advise if this is incorrect)

With your 80 Gb Workspace, it can have as many models in it as long as the sum of the size of all the models in it do not exceed 80 Gb. So you can have 1 80 Gb model in that workspace. OR two 40 Gb models. OR eight 10 Gb models.

@ChrisG532 thanks for your advice. I will choose one 80 Gb model in my workspace.

Workspace sizes

The maximum size for a standard workspace is 130 GB but not every workspace needs to be this large. Anaplan creates workspaces according to your needs. Work with your customer success manager or business partner in Anaplan to determine the workspace sizes for your tenant.

For example, a smaller workspace of 5 - 10 GB is enough for a training workspace including Level 1, 2, and 3 models and any sandbox/demo models.

If you plan to hold Development, Test, and Production models in the same workspace, Your workspace size should be 4-5 times the size of your largest model. For example, if your Development model size is 15 GB, your workspace size should be 80-100 GB. However, it is better practice to have different workspaces for Development, Test, and Production environments.

Workspace sizes are flexible and can be adjusted by Anaplan based on your changing needs but keep in mind that it cannot exceed 130GB for standard models and 720 GB for hypermodels.

Hyperbyte Allowance

Hyperbyte is a 100GB package of workspace available for purchase. This option may now be more cost-effective for enterprise customers who need additional workspace but not as much as hypermodel's 720 GB space, especially since Hypermodel's selling policy has changed and it is no longer sold in 50 GB increments.

Thanks you for the input, much appreciated.
