Our credo begins with a determination to get to the essence of things—something that can never be achieved by borrowing ideas from others. We remain ambitious about what is possible, always asking whether there is a better way forward.
Value is created by acting promptly, not by waiting for perfect conditions. We hold to a steady axis of belief that is not swayed by noise or trends, and we trust in skills that can only be developed through sustained effort.
Comfort with the merely “ordinary” can quietly limit progress. We choose to value those willing to take risks, even when conventional thinking clouds the path ahead. What proves to be right is often complicated, tedious, and time-consuming. In the end, we believe happiness comes from helping others succeed.
Use these tables as a planning baseline for netLD, ThirdEye, and SmartBridge deployments. Actual requirements depend on the role of each server, managed device count, monitored metrics, retention needs, and how the environment is distributed. For large or unusual deployments, validate the sizing with LogicVein before you build the production system.

Configuration storage is usually modest, but it is not a fixed number. The amount of disk space required depends on how many devices are managed, how large their configurations are, how often they change, and how long history is retained.
Whether the deployment includes Net LineDancer configuration management
The average device configuration size
The frequency of configuration changes in the network
The retention period for configuration history
Net LineDancer also stores tool output and reports. Plan additional space for that operational data, since it is often larger than the configuration history itself.
As one real-world example, a customer with more than 250 primarily Cisco, Juniper, Extreme, and Foundry devices performs daily backups. After one year, the configuration history for those devices requires about 12 MB.
Configuration storage grows roughly in proportion to device count. A 10,000-device environment performing daily backups for one year could expect about 500 MB of configuration-history storage before tool output and reports are considered.
