Just a heads up but I belive that these blade servers max at 2GB of ram.

I agree with the 25-30 users per server. This will also minimise the impact
if a server goes down for some reason.
I would also suggest 4GB RAM instead of 2GB. The more RAM the better :-)

Taskmgr mem usage doesn't tell the whole story. While the image may report
that much mem there is some sharing going on between sessions.
Depending on how many power users you were looking at etc. I would look at
25-30 of the boxes.
That will give you some wiggle room for reboots and maintenance.

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 =3D3D3D3D3D not many people per =
=3D box =3D3D =3D3D3D and =3D3D3D3D a lot of blades...
I've started by saying 20 servers but am more inclined to look at 30?
Comments from the crowd?
