You can estimate the amount of database storage that you require when you deploy McAfee Solidcore extension. This estimate can help you determine the hardware needs for your organization.
The Database Sizing Guide attached to this article is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that helps you compute the database size requirements for a host configuration. You can input the events traffic generated from a single host to estimate the database size needed for ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) to properly manage the MACC 6.x.x events.
Database sizing
The amount of database storage you require mainly depends on the following factors:
- Dynamic data
Factors that affect ePO Database size:
- Events
- Inventory
- Content Change Tracking
Assumptions
- The calculation is based on 25 events per day or per host. For Application Control, expected event traffic is five events per day on a host.
- Static data calculation is assumed to be once for the lifetime of the product.
- Size of user created policies is negligible and does not affect the disk space calculations during dynamic data size calculation.
