This topic is part of the manual Setting up Genesys Multicloud CX Private Edition for version Current of Genesys Multicloud CX Private Edition.

Provides information about different storage types required for Genesys Multicloud CX services.

Deciding storage includes a lot of factors such as the number of agents, call volumes, call recordings and archiving them, data security, accessibility, and so on. It also includes technical factors such as the Input Output Per Second (IOPS) or throughput, storage type, latency, and so on.

In Genesys Multicloud CX private edition, you will create storage for specific services, for example, Genesys Customer Experience Insights (GCXI), and Voice. The services that require storage elements, such as file and disk storage for processing its data, use the Kubernetes Persistence Volume subsystem (PV). The storage subsystem and Kubernetes StorageClass types requirements for different services for different Kubernetes platforms are given in the following tables:


You can create or select the storage subsystem for your service on a specific Kubernetes platform based on the information presented in the corresponding table. For the exact sizing of each storage subsystem or PVs, refer to the related service-level documentation.

Important
By default, the Kubernetes platform creates default file and disk storage classes. However, Genesys recommends not to use them but to create a custom file and disk storage for your service.
Tip
You can determine the storage requirements for your contact center yourself by either exploring the storage requirements of each service, by using the Sizing Calculator or by leveraging the Genesys Professional Services team's support.
