John,
Are you assuming that you have TScale on those new boxes or not? Since
you use it on your existing farm, you should have a pretty good feel for
how many more users you are getting per server with TScale. If I recall,
the applications mix on your existing servers is pretty much exactly
what you plan on running on the new servers, so the results for your
existing farm should translate over to the new farm.
My short answer to your question is that with TScale you should get 33%
more users per server, which translates into 25% fewer servers.
Cheers,

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