We have a nice problem, our company is growing. But with our growth, or server farm is growing like bunny rabbits. We currently have 175 Wintel servers up from 60 just three years ago. As we add new web based applications we seem to add several servers each.
We think of ourselves as being somewhat bleeding edge with our applications highly integrated across our Wintel servers for web access and IBM z800 mainframe for the heavy lifting such as data base.
Our managment think that our 20 to 25% server growth rate is excessive, but I don’t have any metrics. We are a non-profit company of 600 employees. Our customers, financial institutions, schools, and students are all heavy users of our web based products.
I would very much appreciatte your comments about your companies WINTEL server growth rate.
