sizing a DBMS server

[Robert Sheridan]

Hi,
We want to get a DBMS server set up, the admins are wanting sizing information and the answer 'do not worry, wont use a huge amount of space' is not good enough. The model will start as just being busines architectue.

The data I have to gleaned to date is the following:
Network latency no greater than 100 m/s
200 Mb RAM should be sufficient for even a large repository

Can anyone give me any figures on the amount of disc space used by their repositories and a guess at whether their repository is small, medium or large.  this will also help us estimate how much disc space might be needed in the future.

Thanks
Robert

I once setup a MySQL server on a desktop for some 20 modelers working on a (I'd say) medium size model. Actually the resources were so modest that remembering them was not worth while. DB admins always expect some huge customer database. Compared to that an EA repository is nothing minus 10.

Our biggest model (about 100.000 elements) reports a size of 1.5 GB on SQL Server.

I think this might be one of the biggest models out there.
