I found this in the sunmanagers archives.
Sunworld is gone/asorbed, but you can still read the articles using the wayback
machine.

Hi all,
Thanx for all who answered my cry for help and share good ideas and
point me in the right direction.
The best to answer my question is to visit sunworld.com and read the
underneath documents regarding costing in the unix world.
http://www.sunworld.com/swol-10-1998/swol-10-cost.html
http://www.sunworld.com/swol-11-1998/swol-11-cost2.html
After reading this there is still a few calculations to do on the abacus
for the bean counters ( They do not know what is "bc" :-)
Thanx again.
Regards
My original question below:
Firstly sorry for asking a non technical question to the group but I
need al the help and suggestions I can get. I would rather fix a
broken
machine or operating system before answering to bean counters who
wants
a answer yesterday.
I have been asked by the bean counters what the cost of one unix user
is. They say that the IBM mainframe guys said that they have documents
that states that one mainframe user uses x- mips and will cost $x.
Therefore to add another user it will cost you so many $'s.
How do I work something like that out in unix. I have a SUN6000
running
Oracle and all users connect to the Oracle DB via web based front
ends.
I have done capacity planning but never add a cost for each user. Is
there any standard cost table on the net against which I can compare
or
can get some suggestions?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Gert

Subject: [Solaris-Users] Guidelines on the number of sysadmins need to support
a server.

Good afternoon,
Is anyone aware of any guidelines that address the appropriate
staff size based on the number of servers in the environment? We would
like to know for example how many system admins are needed to support a
server taking into account the requirements for patching, monitoring,
and securing a server.
Many thanks,
Joan
