The following guidelines provide an estimation of the hardware resources required to deploy SQL Compliance Manager depending on the number of servers you want to monitor with SQLCM.
Installs under 20 Servers
Less than 20 SQL Servers being audited and 10,000 events per hour.
SQL Compliance Manager Repository and Collection Service reside on:
Type | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Windows Server 2003 or above |
| Memory | 6-12 GB |
| CPU | Intel® Xeon® E3-1240 v5 3.5GHz 8M cache (4 Core) |
| SQLcm Repository Size | 40-60 GB (Pre-allocate this space) |
These hardware and configuration requirements are basic requirements and can be interpreted differently depending on each environment´s audit requirements and event activity scenarios.
The expected repository growth is approximately 1GB per every 1 million transactions.
Installs 20-50 Servers
20-50 SQL Servers being audited and 20,000 events per hour.

| Memory | 12-24 GB |
| CPU | Dual Intel® Xeon® E3-1240 v5 3.5 GHz 8M cache (4 Core) |
| SQLcm Repository Size | 250 GB or more (Pre-allocate this space) |
These hardware and configuration requirements are basic requirements and can be interpreted differently depending on each environment´s audit requirements and event activity scenarios.
The expected repository growth is approximately 1GB per every 1 million transactions
Installs 200 Servers or more
200 SQL Servers being audited and 30,000 events per hour.
SQL Compliance Manager Repository and Collection Service reside on:
Type | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Windows Server 2003 or above (64 bit) |
| Memory | 24-48 GB or more |
| CPU | 4-6 Dual Intel® Xeon® E3-1240 v5 3.5 GHz 8M cache (4 Core) |
| SQLcm Repository Size | 1TB or more (Pre-allocate this space) |
These hardware and configuration requirements are basic requirements and can be interpreted differently depending on each environment´s audit requirements and event activity scenarios.
The expected repository growth is approximately 1GB per every 1 million transactions
The SQL Compliance Manager Collection Service should not reside on a virtual machine.
