Memory requirements

You must have sufficient memory available for server operations such as replication and data deduplication. Memory requirements are based on the projected maximum database size. Extra memory improves database query performance by increasing the amount of memory that is available for the database buffer pools.

Use the following table to determine the minimum amount of memory you must allocate on the server to complete operations, based on the database size. The size that is required depends on the functions that you use.
Table 1. Minimum size requirements based on database size
Database size Standard server operations (no data deduplication or replication required) Either data deduplication or replication required Both data deduplication and replication required
