Just wondering what employee to server/device ratio's others have. I
have heard that the optimal employee to server ratio is 1 admin to 15
servers. Not sure if this is still accurate today or not. I know that
automation (deployments/patching/monitoring) plays a role in this as
well as job responsibilities (operations work, project work, or both)
A previous employer was 1 admin to ~70 devices (including storage, unix
server, linux server, backups, limited automation (automated OS
deployments), and both operations/project work) (3 admins total)
Overall health of the env on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being best I
would say was a 4.
What did occur was mainly project work and break/fix operations
Another employer was 1 admin to ~60 devices (including storage, unix
server, linux server, no automation, and both operations/project work)
(3 admins total)
Overall health of the env on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being best I
would say was a 4.
What did occur was mainly project work and break/fix operations
What is your company like?
What would you say is an ideal number?
I hear this book has some guidelines/formula for determining staffing.
