Database Requirements

You must have one of the following databases installed:

• Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (32-bit and 64-bit) Standard or Enterprise with the latest service packs
• Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (32 bit and 64 bit) Standard or Enterprise with SP1
• Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (32 bit, 64 bit), Standard or Enterprise Editions
• Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (32-bit and 64-bit) Standard or Enterprise with the latest service packs

The database must be case-insensitive.

Wherever you install the database, verify that you follow the hardware and software requirements that Microsoft recommends for your SQL Server version. The disk space requirements for the database grow over time. The growth is due to the amount of managed services, CIs, and alerts increases. The database contains tables that keep a record of historical data. To control the database growth, perform periodic maintenance. For database sizing and maintenance recommendations, see the Administration Guide.
