The load balancers are already in production for a number of other core functions. They're there if I want to use them.

From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Crown, David T. (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? ________________________________ Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail is from a law firm and may be protected by the attorney-client or work product privileges.
