[THIN] Re: How many users are you getting?

Since I guess I triggered this, here are the details:

Servers:  HP NetServer LT6000r, 6 x PIII XEON 700MHz, 2MB L2 cache, 8GB
RAM, 2 x 3C996 Gigabit NICs.
Applications:  Oracle Forms 6i, Custom VB-based Toolbar, Quick Address
Software (QAS), ThinPrint.
Platform:  Windows 2000 Advanced Server running native Terminal Services
(RDP 5.0).
Network Load Control:  Windows 2000 Network Load Balancing (NLB).

Network-wise, the servers are dual homed, with one card dedicated to
"front-end" RDP, and the other dedicated to "back-end" SQL traffic.

Stability is fairly good.  We are averaging roughly around 27,000 hosted
sessions served per server between reboots, but have seen numbers in the
40,000s.

In an earlier e-mail on this list Sjolund, Dag was seen to say: "we
routinely have 250+ concurrent sessions per server"

Saweeeet. Is what I say to that. The largest number of concurrent
connections I could ever get or have worked on was about 120 at one
client with 110 per server (taking second place) at another.=20

Both of these were running Term EM applications on older quad
xeons.(read 500mhz and a little up no 3.0 ghz stuff)

So the question that came to my mind is: How many users are YOU getting
per box? And on the big ones (100+ users) what types of apps are you
running?
