    Hi,

    Anybody knows if CRM maintains good performance if a lot of files are attached? What about 2 or 3 years adding files? It will be ok?

    Regards,
    Francisco

    Hi Francisco,

    Microsoft CRM is designed to scale to meet the needs of an enterprise so importing files into the system should not be a problem. I have personally have migrated large amounts of file attachments (associated with account records) into MS CRM without any performance issues.

    If you are concerned about performance I would strongly recommend reading the performance and scalability white papers. (Please find link below).

    I would also recommend setting up a test environment to test the performance after your document migration using the Performance toolkit. (Please find link below).

    Hi

    I guess it will be also depend on your servers., we have almost 2000 files attached in one of our clients CRM. and the performance is still good.
    I guess because they have Good server configurations and multiserver deployment.

    What do you mean by clients CRM? 2000 files in all the CRM database or inside an account? The server is nothing special...

    Definitely my boss doesn't want to have the files inside the database. Is there any way to configure CRM in order to save them outside it and having a link or something like this?
