caso backupexec help

I have a client that 350 backup exec servers across the country. Each Bes has a tape drive and does the local backup to tape at each bes server. All jobs and definitions will stay with the local servers. The BES server are a mix of versions from 10d to 12 I am going to recommend that the server running caso run 12.5 backup exec. The server that we will install 12.5 will be a vmware server I need a list of specs for the vmware server running teh caso server. I also need to know if the sql that comes with symantec backup exec will be goo denough as we have 350 bes servers. If so how much disk space will be needed for the caso server. They only want visability on notifications of events on servers but keep functionality local. Any help woyuld be great first time working with CASO

350 servers would be too ambitious for CASO. Even with a full blown SQL Server install.
35 would already be a stretch.

If you only want notifications of events, why don't you use the SNMP functionality of Backup Exec to send traps to a central monitoring system.
