Guidance Requested on Data Storage Requirements and Best Practices for Cloud-Based Solutions
Posted: Fri Jun 30, 2023 10:57 am
Dear Tickstory Team,
I hope this message finds you well. We are currently developing a project that includes the storage of historical market data in a cloud-based storage. To successfully accomplish this aspect of our project, we require a clear understanding of the storage allocation we should account for.
We conducted a few tests using your complimentary application. We downloaded the full suite of your historical NASDAQ data, a month's worth of NASDAQ data, and a month's worth of EUR/USD data. We've observed some unexpected patterns in data size and would appreciate your insight into these matters.
The complete NASDAQ data amounted to approximately 35GB, while a single month accounted for 557MB. Calculating up to the complete data from the months worth of data it doesn't add up. The complete data seems too small or the months data too big. How does the entire historical data confine to just 35GB?
The month of EUR/USD data, meanwhile, amounted to a surprisingly compact 150MB. We speculate that this is due to the fewer symbols required for each row Could you confirm if our assumption is accurate?
As we plan to download the data of approximately 17 symbols, we are aware of the substantial storage commitment this will entail. However, before proceeding to purchase your tool and embark on downloading the requisite data, we seek your guidance in determining the volume of storage we should provide for. Additionally, any advice you could provide on the optimal methods for storing this data in a cloud solution would be greatly appreciated.
We understand that our request may require considerable effort on your part, and we appreciate your time and assistance in this matter. We are confident that this could mark the beginning of a long and mutually beneficial business relationship.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to your response.
Best regards,
Chris
