I'm looking at adding an extra 1000 users to my farm and have specified 25
servers to do the job, based on my current load. The current servers handle
30 concurrent users easily so I've put in a bid based on 40 per box.
Of course, if they were all running Autocad, I might change my mind a bit.

Subject: [THIN] Full desktop for 900 users
If you were building a farm for 900 concurrent users with a published
desktop as the primary method of access how many servers would you spec?
Dell 1655m dual p3 1.2 2gb ram , mirrored 73gb disk, dual 10/100/1000
nics.
I've done some sniffing on my current users
Applications and memory usage per user
Imanage 20-25mb
Word 2k 30-50mb
Excel 2k 15-30mb
Oracle Forms 20mb
Outlook 25-35mb
IE 15-20mb
Sundries (wfshell, explorer, winlogon, csrss) 10-15mb
Now if you add all this up you get 135-195mb per user.....
So if I did the maths of 150mb per user =3D not many people per box and =
a
lot of blades...
I've started by saying 20 servers but am more inclined to look at 30?
Comments from the crowd?
