Microsoft SQL Server Express 2016 Installation Instructions

Sentinel Visualizer uses data stored in industry-standard, ODBC-compliant, Microsoft SQL Server databases. Microsoft SQL Server can be hosted on a dedicated server in your organization or in a cloud host like Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services (AWS).

You can also install a free copy of Microsoft SQL Server Express onto your PC. This is known as a local instance of SQL Express (as opposed to a shared/networked instance of Microsoft SQL Server). The databases that you create in Sentinel Visualizer will reside in this local instance.
