Satya Vel from the SC OM2k7 Team has offered an 'unofficial' Database Storage Calculator in the form of an Excel Worksheet for determining the 'rough estimated size' of both the Operations Manager Database and the Data Warehouse for the Operations Manager Database.
The 'official' mechanism for calculating Storage Requirements for Operations Manager 2007 is the System Center Capacity Planner 2007 (which remains in Beta as of this writing) but is available through the Microsoft Connect Web Site to Beta Participants.
Here are the Worksheet settings to calculate the Operations Manager Database Size. The primary Variables for Input include 'Number of Days to Keep Data', 'Number of Client Computers' and 'Number of Server Computers'.
The Input Variables for the Operations Manager 2007 Data Warehouse are similar. Note the size differential in the Warehouse Database (due to the longer term storage of data) when compared to the Operations Manager Database (where individual Alerts are collected and acted upon).
