5.4.4 Estimating disk space required for Asset Information Manager Subset

This subsection provides formulas for estimating the disk space required to use the Asset Information Manager Subset database. If the calculation results in a decimal fraction, round it up to the next integer.

Size of database capacity (kilobytes) = ([Figure](size of an information item used x number of items registered) + 30720) x 1.4 x 1.5

The following table lists the information used by Asset Information Manager Subset, as well as the sizes and the default number of registration entries for that information.

Information used Size (kilobytes) Default number of registration entries
Hardware asset information 51.7#1 1,000
Installed software list 0.4 200
Patch list 0.2 100
IP group information 0.8 300
IP address management information#2 0.3 2,000
Installation site information#3 1.2 100
User management information#3 0.8 1,000
Group name information 1.0 200
Permission management information#3 0.4 100
Modification history 0.8 3,000
Software modification history 0.4 2,000
Number of search patterns for operation log totals -- 15
Number of days for holding operation log totaled results -- 7

--: No value.

#1
The size of hardware asset information is an approximate value based on the assumption that the following information is included, where parentheses enclose the size for each entry:
- 1 asset information entry (2.7 kilobytes)
- 1 hardware asset information entry (1.4 kilobytes)
- 3 network information entries (0.6 kilobytes)
- 20 transfer log entries (1.2 kilobytes)
- 60 installed software information entries (0.3 kilobytes)
- 10 patch information entries (0.l kilobytes)
- 1 virus definition information entry (0.5 kilobytes)
- 1 component information entry (0.3 kilobytes)
- 1 inventory information entry (2.0 kilobytes)

#2
You need as many IP address management information entries as there are IP addresses that can be used in the address range registered in the IP group information.

#3
You do not need to calculate these sizes if you are totaling operation logs.

If you are totaling operation logs, the following disk space is required for data:

Data size required for totaling operation logs (kilobytes) =
(number of patterns used for totaling x number of days to hold totals x number of groups) x 0.4
