You could go with Solid State disk by TiGi, as well - this would almost
triple the number of users per server if the user history shows disk queuing
as the problem.

  Subject: [THIN] How many servers?


  Hello,



  Currently I am running 17 Win NT TSE servers w/2GB or RAM; these servers
will go to their knees when they get to the 40 user count.



  I have been told to get us NEW servers so we all finally agreed to
purchase ProLiant BL20p G2 X3.06-512 Dual Processor Blade servers with 4GB
of RAM.



  I am going through a brainstorm here trying to figure out how many servers
to ask for...



  The average user takes up form 24MB to 45MB of RAM per session; and we
would like to be able to always have an off-line server or at least if one
fails to not decrease the users performance.  So far I have counted 1 server
for CSG & NFuse, 1 server for STA, and 7 MetaFrame XP Win 2003 servers.



  Does this seem like a good amount?
