Database Sizing for Managed vCenter Server Instances
Use the following requirements to plan the size of your SQLServer database depending on the number of
hosts and guests per vCenter Server managed by VCM. Guest collections include only the virtual machine
data that vCenter provides and do not include any in-guest data. In-guest collections are separate from
vCenter collections.
These requirements are in addition to the base VCM storage requirements, and are based on an estimated
10% data change per day times 15 days of data retention.
Hosts Guests Est. Daily Change Data Retention in Days Data Size
25 250 10% 15 3GB
50 500 10% 15 6GB
250 2500 10% 15 30GB
