OpenEMR scalabilty / backup in the cloud

Hello,
We are in the process of developing a white paper that will provide some “tips” in hosting OpenEMR in the cloud specifically on the DB scalability side.

What we are looking for is a typical size of the storage for “x” patients in using OpenEMR. This includes both data stored inside the DB and patients data that is outside of the DB (images etc). We understand, this will vary significantly from practice to practice but are looking for an average size.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
ViSolve OpenEMR Team

For 5000 records appx 100 Mb db and 900 Mb documents compressed. However with lab interface document growth is moderating.
