What does the number of identities affect in a SailPoint IdentityIQ implementation?

The number of identities in a SailPoint IdentityIQ implementation significantly impacts database size and the number of task servers required to effectively manage and process identity-related data.

As the number of identities increases, the amount of data stored in the database also grows. Each identity can have various attributes and associated accounts, which need to be stored, processed, and maintained. This results in a larger database size to accommodate the increased volume of data.

Additionally, as the number of identities rises, the demand for processing power and performance increases. Task servers are responsible for executing background tasks, such as data imports, provisioning actions, and reporting. More identities typically require more tasks to be processed, which may necessitate scaling up the number of task servers to ensure that these tasks can be executed efficiently and within a reasonable time frame. This ensures that the implementation can handle the processing load without performance degradation.

Other options do have relevance in a broader context, but they don't directly relate to how the number of identities affects the internal management of IdentityIQ at its core.
