This topic provides specific information about sizing of GN4 database.

You may want to read the following documents concerning database sizing:

•http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee410782(SQL.100).aspx - a Microsoft technical article discussing how to size disks and controllers for SQL Server 2008.

•http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd459146(SQL.100).aspx - a Microsoft technical article discussing an approach of sizing database server for data warehousing application. Our systems are not data warehousing, but the description on how to match CPU/memory/disk resources is interesting, and there are some example configurations.

When sizing and configuring database servers pay attention to disk, controllers and file configurations (how to split the db in multiple files and where to place them).
