Size of the information to be used

The following table provides guidelines for size of information to be used.

#1

This estimate assumes that the following information is included:

1 asset information item (2.7 kilobytes)
1 hardware information item (1.4 kilobytes)
3 network information items (0.6 kilobytes per item)
20 transfer log entries (1.2 kilobytes per entry)
60 installed software information items (0.3 kilobytes per item)
10 patch information items (0.1 kilobytes per item)
1 virus definition information item (0.5 kilobytes)
1 component information item (0.3 kilobytes)
1 inventory information item (2.0 kilobytes)

#2

This estimate assumes that the following information is included:

#3: As many IP address control information items as the total number of IP addresses available within the address range registered for the IP group information are required.

Note

The size of each information item to be used is based on the following conditions:

Data is set only for items (including user properties) that can be set by GUI operations or when inventory information is imported. The average size of the values to be set is assumed to be 30 bytes. If the data size is less than 30 bytes, the size of the managed area is assumed.
For items that cannot be set by GUI operations or when inventory information is imported, only the size of the managed area is assumed.
The asset information and maintenance contract information associate one or more device information items.

amount of data for license total: = ( + ) number of times licenses totaled (kilobytes); = average number of software assets owned by one group number of groups 0.5; = average number of software assets that have been installed on a device number of devices 0.5; This formula assumes that one software product requires 0.5 kilobytes of space.

amount of data for operation log total: = number of patterns used for summing number of days for retaining totaled results number of groups 0.4 (kilobytes); This formula assumes that the capacity of totaled results for each group per day is 0.4 kilobytes for each search pattern.

Amount of Item data: = (size of defined Item number of defined Items registered) + (amount of data required for Item management number of Items requested); Size of defined Item: 150 kilobytes; Amount of data required for Item management: 4.0 kilobytes; The size of a defined Item shown here is an average over the provided four Item templates. The actual size of a defined Item depends on the numbers of activities and Items that are to be defined.

The index area requires about 40% of the table size. For details about how to determine the size of the index area, see the DBMS documentation.

To achieve efficient access to the asset management database, a free space of about 50% of the table size is required.
