"disk need" calculation

"disk need" calculation

 

  

Let me apologize for this rather vague question, but there is no other way
to ask it. We are looking to convert two databases from an AS400
environment (V5R2) to a SQL Server environment (W2K3 server/SQL Server 2000
sp3). These two databases on the AS400 are each about 100GB in size. How
much space (a rough guess) do you think it will take on a SQL Server
platform to house this same data assuming a similar index structure, etc.?
It just sounds too simple for it to be a 1GB-to-1GB "relationship". Have
any of you done a similar conversion from DB2/UDB environment to a SQL
Server environment?



Thanks in advance.
