I have roughly 1250 client machines. How big should I reasonably expect the eminentware database (mdf + ldf) to get?
I know there are a lot of variables here (which and how many items from each computer you are including in the inventory, etc.). I'm just looking for a ballpark estimate. 10GB? 100GB? I have a test system with 6 clients and full SQL 2008 R2, and the database + log is roughly 300MB.
Figure 1 in the deployment guide lists 4GB for 500-2500 clients, but that seems like a pretty wide range of clients and a fairly small DB.
I just don't want to get into trouble because I trusted the 4GB estimate, and used SQL express (10GB limit) and then found out my DB will really be 25GB. Likewise, I don't want to estimate 25GB, put it on a server with 50GB free space and then find out it will really be 100GB. I don't want to paint myself into a corner
