Ok, cool. I don't know I how I got it in my head that I needed to put the MP's behind the load balancer. I know to go past 25K, I'll need at least two. I didn't know I could do a replica of the DB on the management points. I'll add in the replicas to help.
Will a pair of unprotected DP's auto-load balances as well? I know there's the school of thought where the there should be no unprotected DP's, but I like the option of having one or two for failback.

(DTI) Sent: Monday, July 01, 2013 9:33 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [mssms] Sizing Question I know it being Monday and all, I'm wondering if you find folks wouldn't mind double checking my sizing. I changed roles with my employer, and the scale of the configmgr environment I'm used to supporting has grown quite a bit. I'm looking to migrate about 15K, scaling to a potential of 40K, clients from a 2007 and a 2012 (with a CAS for political reasons) to a single 2012 site. The plan is to use a box with 16 cores and 48GB (the plan is get it to 96) of ram with SQL on box and no other roles. For the backing disks, I was looking at three Fibre Channel Luns. One 300~500 gig disk on a high performance lun that can sustain 20K IOPS for the site directory and sql, one 2TB lun on some lower preforming storage for package source and the content library, and a third lun in the same lower performance tier (~1TB) for my backups. I plan on using two to four MP's as vm's behind a load balancer, two unprotected DP's for failback, and one SUP. As the environment is deployed, I plan on bringing in protected DP's, and for my larger sites (500 to 1000 users), I plan on sticking a secondary at the site. So my question is does my proposed environment look like it could support the number of clients I'll be managing?
