- I've seen article flurries in this news group in the past regarding
- sysadmin/machine ratios.
- At the time, I didn't worry about it... :-/
-
- Does someone have those old conversations summarized somewhere?
-
- If not -
- What are other admin groups using for sysadm/machine ratio standards
- (and why)?
-
- Obviosly, it depends on, among other things, the following factors:
- o equipment/package mix
- o whether the sysadmins are performing network and/or end-user
- application support
- o skill level of the admins
- o level of automation
-
- Anyone have any thoughts on the subject?
