Marcus, There are several factors that effect Sun Ray scaling and performance, here are a few:
-use a dedicated interconnect for DTU's -disable all screen savers -Limit audio and video streaming -use quota's on users to limit resources -don't install a video card in the server -keep storage on the server, to take advantage of the backplane -limit USB mass storage, use media servers as an alternative The 440 is a great box and has no problems running 100 users. On the 3-1 ratio with 100 DTU's, are you saying that you would have 300 users with smart cards, and 200 sessions inactive? The best configuration would be to run more than 1 server with failover. On My first implementation, I had a 220 running NFS for home directories and four E420R for 300 users. The 210's may scale to 50 users, but I would go with a higher availability box like a V240 that has dual power supplies and more storage capacity. And once again I would use two servers if possible. My largest configuration is a single 4800 supporting 500 users. On the 4800 I have all my eggs in one basket, because of how it is used, I don't have any failover. I have three 490's supporting 275 users across two Vlans running Rdesktop in CAM mode. Currently I am installing Seven V240's in 7 buildings with session mobility and each providing failover. This network will scale to about 200 users when completed. Hope that helps.
