4.5.3 Maximum disk space requirements for the management server and database server in a multi-server configuration system

The following describes the maximum disk space requirements for data folders on the management server and database server in a multi-server configuration system.

Maximum disk space requirements on the management server

In addition to the disk space shown in the table below, we recommend that you allocate 1GB of free space to a local data folder for use as a work folder during operation. AlthoughJP1/IT Desktop Management uses information not covered in the following table, such information requires a relatively small space and therefore has little influence on the estimate.

Data folder

Saved data

Storage period

Maximum space

Data folder

Packages used by the distribution function

Stored until deleted.

Approximately 10 GB

This is based on the assumption that 1,000 10 MB packages are registered.

Maximum disk space requirements on the database server

In addition to the disk space shown in the table below, we recommend that you allocate 1 GB of free space for a local data folder for use as a work folder during operation. Although,JP1/IT Desktop Management uses information not covered in the following table, but such information requires a relatively small space and therefore has little influence on the estimate.

Data folder

Saved data

Storage period

Maximum space

Database folder

The following information used by the management server:

  • Security policy

  • Group

  • Agent settings

Stored until deleted.

2.0 GB

The following asset information:

  • Hardware asset information

  • Managed-software information

  • Software license information

  • Contract information

Stored until deleted.

25 GB

Actually, the disk space might exceed 25 GB because the folder size increases with the number of registered items.

We also assume that the following information items have been registered, each item has no additional management items, and many large files are not registered. To register many large files to be managed, allocate sufficient free space separately.

  • Hardware asset information: 100,000 items

  • Managed-software information: 500 items

  • Software license information: 500 items

  • Contract information: 500 items

Device information for managed devices

Stored until deleted.

50 GB

This is based on the assumption that 50,000 devices are managed.

Revision history

Stored until the used disk space reaches the maximum. If the maximum space is exceeded, entries are deleted beginning from the oldest.

Approximately 15 GB

This is based on the assumption of a system with 50,000 managed devices, in which the number of device information changes recorded daily per device is the total of the following:

  • Number of changes recorded in day-to-day operation: 14

  • Number of invalid changes: 0.1 (one invalid change per device in 10 percent of devices)

Events

Stored until the used disk space reaches the maximum. If the maximum space is exceeded, events are deleted, beginning from the oldest.

(250 x 50,000 licenses owned + 10,000) x 1.5 KB = Approximately 18 GB

This is based on the assumption that the following conditions exist:

  • 250 events can be generated for one managed device per day.

  • The number of owned licenses (managed devices) is 50,000.

  • 10,000 events can be generated per day irrespective of the number of managed devices.

  • One event requires 1.5 KB of disk space.

Reports for the specified storage period

Stored for the specified number of years (from 1 to 10).

50 GB

This is based on the assumption that reports are stored for 10 years.

Approximately 10 GB

This is based on the assumption that 1,000 10 MB packages are registered.

Data folder

Packages used by the distribution function

Stored until deleted.

Revision history output folder

Revision history archive

When you enable output of the revision history archive, revision history is output to this folder as CSV files at regular intervals.

Approximately 50 GB

This is based on the assumption that 50,000 devices are managed, and the revision history archive spans five years.
