Marketing Insight - Blob storage capacity requirement

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 570

Hi all,

I'm planning to use a blob storage with Dynamics Marketing to create powerbi dashboards. I'm trying to figure how much storage will be required to plan the upcoming costs.

Anyone has experience using a blob storage with Dynamics Marketing and has can provide an average of the data that can be required?

    Apologies somehow missed replying here.

    The latest Azure storage pricing can be found here - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/storage/blobs/

    Each telemetry log item in itself is quite small so you will have to do a little back of the envelope approximation to get an approximate idea.

    For e.g. if you are primarily using Emails

    You could approximate all activities related to each email sent could be about 5kb (I am overestimating a bit here - to account for all events like open, link clicked bounced etc.)

    If you were to send say 10,000  email per day = 10k * 5kb ~ 50MB/day

    If you do that for 30 days - 50MB * 30 ~ 1.5GB/month

    This should give you an approximate idea of how your storage will grow over time.

    In addition to Emails the other types of telemetry to consider are if you are collecting Form data or Website visit data.

    You can use the same type of calculation but have a smaller estimate per form submission or per page visit around ~1k for each.

    Hope that helps.
