How do I judge memory and processor needed per app and users?

tiash · Apr 10, 2001

I need to spec an HP servers for 600 users. I need to have a idea on how to plan the server size for these users and apps. like exchange , fax serv, backup exec, O/S, etc.
[processor, HD, memory per user per app.]

I also need to know how many servers I should destribute the load on. I understand nothing is exact but If I could find away of judging an estimate it would help.

I'm looking for a way of planning other installs as well?

Have you called HP for advise? Their sales team should be able to set you up with everything you'll need. They're quite excellent.

HP is no use in this situation. but I realized that all of the applications have system requirements and user requirements. I found all I needed looking at the manufacturers sites.

What kind of support have you recieved from HP because all they have ever offered to me is part #s?
