DBMS transaction Rate, Average transaction size

[yiki]

Our IT is setting up an SQL server DB , he asked me couple questions, that I'm hoping that I could find an answer here.

What is the transaction rate? and the average of transaction size?

and how much total space do we need?

For now our model is small but eventually will be big, since we're gona use the same model for different releases.

thanks

We have a pretty large model containing about 70.000 elements which currently takes up about a gigabyte of space on SQL Server

I'm not sure how EA deals with transactions, but it launches 100's of queries a second at the database.
I suspect each individual query is a small transaction.

Your model will eventually start growing after turning on auditing. But in terms of databases this is only peanuts.

I got an estimate from the IT guys of  transaction size of 10K bytes, averaging about 600 transaction per hour.  
Do you guys think that is good enough?
