vCenter 5.1 and SQL Express 2008 R2

Hi,

 

Just wanted to check against the limitations of SQL Express 2008 R2 and vCenter 5.1.  We have a small environment with 4 hosts and 60 VMS, the recommendation for SQL Express is 5 Hosts/50 VMs.  I've read the SQL Express 2008 R2 limitations are 10GB DB SIze limit and 1 CPU and 1GB RAM.  Our current DB size is 1.3GB, is it safe to assume vCenter will be ok, has anyone run into problems with SQL Express other than hitting the DB Size limit?

 

I was looking at upgrading from Express to a full SQL Server install but we don't need SQL for anything else so I'm thinking it's overkill for vCenter.  Is it mailnly the logging levels and data retention that contribute to the DB size, at present they're default.

 

Thanks
