CMDB Sizing

My DBA is asking how big my CMDB will get, currently we use configuration manager to manage about 450 devices and the Netflow module to monitor about 30 devices. We don't syslog to it and probably won't. Is there a good way of estimating how much disk the CMDB will need for current and future? The database is a SQL server.

Thanks,

Steve

I monitor close to 300 devices and my NCM DB is close to 2gb.

Netflow for 30 devices assuming they are not superfast interfaces with a ton of traffic should be pretty small. That is a different DB however from NCM.
