Bruce -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Stratton, Doug MSER:EX Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2005 12:10 PM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Support level required? We are in the process of setting up a service for the provincial government here. It looks like we may end up with 100 or more blades with w2k3 server and CMFPSv3 on them. We will have 2-4or5 servers per ministry. Each set will have different configurations to meet the needs of the specific ministry. Office 2003, acrobat reader and a few other apps are standard. Users are all over the province. We will not be managing the network. Just the servers and the client side (pc/tc). Anyone have some idea of the number of support staff that might be required for this type of environment? We are starting with 2 + one supervisor.
