Take a look at Tscale (http://www.rtosoft.com). It will pay for itself and then 
some by increasing your servers user capacity.  In my experience about 35% more 
capacity or getting 4 server capacity with only 3 servers is my rule of thumb. 
If you are estimating 7 servers you could get by with as few as 5. 
 
A nice bonus is some apps will run noticeably faster.

Hello, Currently I am running 17 Win NT TSE servers w/2GB or RAM; these servers 
will go to their knees when they get to the 40 user count. I have been told to 
get us NEW servers so we all finally agreed to purchase ProLiant BL20p G2 
X3.06-512 Dual Processor Blade servers with 4GB of RAM. I am going through a 
brainstorm here trying to figure out how many servers to ask for... The average 
user takes up form 24MB to 45MB of RAM per session; and we would like to be 
able to always have an off-line server or at least if one fails to not decrease 
the users performance.  So far I have counted 1 server for CSG & NFuse, 1 
server for STA, and 7 MetaFrame XP Win 2003 servers. Does this seem like a good 
amount?   Miguel Enrique Guzmán CCANetwork Analyst I(941) 917-7084Information
