James, Its really hard to give solid numbers on scaling. We run a wide range of Solaris and Windows apps. Some of the classrooms only run Solaris, others only run Windows. On the Sun ray Servers that only support Windows, we use CAM mode. A T2000 will scale to "a lot" of users. The rule I always follow, is if the server has to support several users, I always build in redundancy with failover groups with multiple servers. The best recommendation I can give you on Sun Ray scaling is to contact Sun and have a SE come out and help you size your requirement. On the Windows side for terminal server scaling. We only run Windows 2003 Enterprise, because we want to exceed the 4GB memory barrier. We use 2200's, 4100's, V20Z, V40Z, and we just installed a 4600m2 as a terminal server with 64GB of RAM. All of the other Terminal servers mentioned have 32Gb of RAM. For sizing this also depends, I have seen 200 users on two V40Z's, but the users were only using Office apps. The best way to find out is to do a pilot and test all your apps, and see what resources you need. We have been using Sun Rays for 7 years, we have seen a 70% reduction in TCO, we support our entire enviroment with 2 Solaris and 2 Windows Admins. We are also in the process of installing a additional 1500 DTU's. Please E-mail me direct at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you have more questions.

Would you be able to say what the server to sunray ratio giving details of the typical server spec to support that ratio?
