Roger,
Ron and Neil would be so disappointed if I did not respond so here
goes....
TScale is a software product that you install on a Terminal Server. It
optimized the performance of the applications on the server, and thereby
allows the server to support on average 33% more concurrent users. The
basic deal is that since we add a third more users per server, for every
three servers you put it on you get another whole server's worth of
capacity. TScale costs $895 per server, so three copies are less than
$2700 which is much less than the cost of acquiring and maintaining a
server.
A great deal more information is available at our web site,
www.rtosoft.com. There is also a free 30 day evaluation product which
you can download from the site, and which will optimize your server's
applications for 30 days at no charge. If you or anyone else would like
more information you are welcome to email me here on the list or
privately.=20

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