Global Addressing Module Databases

Global Addressing Module databases are distributed in the Spectrum™ Product Database (SPD) format from the Pitney Bowes Software and Data Marketplace.

Disk Space

The disk space requirements for extracted and non-extracted SPD bundles are:
  • Extracted bundles (all SPD) - 100 GB
  • Non-extracted bundles (all SPD) - 32 GB

Memory

A typical Global Address Validation (GAV) country database can take 700 MB of memory when loaded but can take as much as 3000 MB. A typical Global Type Ahead (GTA) database also takes about 700 MB of memory when loaded but rarely exceeds that value.
