Small Orion Installation with SQL Express?

I am curious if it would be workable to setup a single server Orion installation with both Orion NPM (SL100) and SAM (AL150) running with a SQL Express database?

Thanks in advance for any responses!

Byrona,

We shouldn't stop you from doing that, though, as I am sure you are aware, SQL Express is severely limited:

older versions: 4GB
SQL Server Express 2008 R2 and higher: 10GB.

HTH,

Andrew

Thanks for the response. I was aware of the size limitation of SQL Express. I am curious if it will handle the insallation so long as I don't use crazy polling intervals and data retention?

There are lots of variables, of course, but you should be able to maintain some level of monitoring for a relatively small number of objects.

Please post back here for the curious, myself included...

Thanks,

Andrew
