Architecture

SQL Size consists of 3 components:

· the SQL Size Agent service that collects size statistics from SQL Server instances  
· a database to store the statistics  
· the SQL Size GUI to analyse the collected statistics

Data collection process

At periodic intervals that you define, the SQL Size Agent service will connect to your SQL Server instances and collect size statistics from those instances. This data is then stored in a SQL Size database.

Data analysis process

You use the SQL Size GUI to analyse the collected data by connecting to the SQL Size database.
