SQL DB Sizing for 8k clients? WSUS 3.0

Anyone know of a DB sizing tool for WSUS? We will be using a remote DB on
SQL server and need sizing.

No, there is no sizing tool available.

If you're using a remote DB server, then it's highly unlikely that the space
required to support WSUS is going to have any appreciable impact on a
dedicated database server.

Best option is to solicit empirical data from organizations of a similar
makeup to yours. The fact is there are many variables that impact database
sizing for WSUS, the most notable being how well the *humans* maintain the
application once it's deployed.
