3. Database Performance

A single database instance serves as the repository for storage data collected by
Aperi Storage Manager agents. This database repository can run under
the following relational database systems: Apache Derby or IBM DB2 Express.
Both databases are fully supported for use with the product.

The Aperi Storage Manager team recommends using IBM DB2 Express in large
environments to ensure consistent performance as the amount of data managed
by the repository database increases.

Note: The ability to assign volumes to hosts is restricted to Aperi
installations using IBM DB2 Express. Aperi installations using Apache Derby
support volume creation, but not host assignment. Check for this limitation
to be addressed in a future release.
