1. Size Up Your Database Security Central Server Deployment

Hardware sizing requirements depend on:

• Number of monitored targets
• Retention requirements
• Daily audit volume
• SQL statements/second for monitoring through Database Firewall

Once you have this data, use the Oracle Database Security Central Best Practices and Sizing Calculator (Note ID: KB921306) to calculate the CPU, Memory, Storage, and Network capacity.

Sizing depends on the volume of audit/log data that you would collect, and their analysis. If you expect auditing activity to increase because of compliance or other reasons, allocate additional storage.
