Estimating database storage requirements
You can estimate the average amount of hard disk space needed to store new
McAfee audit results.
1 Determine the auditing requirements for your organization, including:
• The number of audits you will be performing.
• The frequency of each audit. For example, 20 audits once per quarter, 5
audits once per month, or one audit once per week.
• The number of systems covered by each audit.
2 Use the example and the table in Database sizing example and requirements
table to estimate the database space required for each audit.
3 Add the values for each audit. The sum is equal to the size of the database
required to store the audit results for one year.
4 Determine the length of time you want to store the audits and adjust the
database accordingly. For example, if you intend to store the audit results for
two years, double the database size obtained in step 3. If you intend to store
the audit results for six months, divide the database size by two.
