Database storage requirements
When determining hardware needs for your organization, it is important to estimate the amount
of database storage required to use McAfee Policy Auditor software.
McAfee has designed the software so that audit results consume the minimum amount of disk
space.The amount of database storage you require depends on these factors:
• How frequently benchmark audits are performed.
• The number of systems audited.
• How long you want to retain audit results.
The tables used to calculate server and database requirements are based on tests of the
software in the following distributed environment:
• McAfee Policy Auditor server
• Four-processor, Intel Xenon 2.0GHz Core server
• 4 GB of RAM
• Windows 2003 Server 32-bit R2, Service Pack 2
• RAID array 5 hard drive for local storage
• Database server
• Four-processor, Intel Xenon 2.7GHz server with hyper threading
• 4 GB of RAM
• Windows 2003 Server 32-bit R2, Service Pack 2
• SQL Server 2005, Service Pack 2
• RAID array 5 hard drive for local storage
Effect of differential auditing results on database size
McAfee Policy Auditor increases database size an average of 760 KB of space per new system
audited. The differential audits feature causes the increase in database size to decrease
significantly after the first audit.
