https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/general-question-re-server-sizing/m-p/4182268#M2547 I am currently in college, and assigned a project of designing an IT infrastructure for a small college with 3 campuses. I've never looked at enterprise level servers before and get a little lost when I start reading each spec sheets. <BR /><BR />One thing I've looked at is the C3000, but I'm not too sure what I need to have in there. It needs to handle 1000 to 1200 concurrent users running windows XP, in an Active Directory environment. I also need http, dns, dhcp,and ftp. When do I need to start adding processors/memory. <BR />I know I'm asking a lot, but even if someone could give me a good starting point I would greatly appreciate it.<BR />THanks Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:04:55 GMT finfan365 2008-04-17T20:04:55Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/general-question-re-server-sizing/m-p/4182268#M2547 I am currently in college, and assigned a project of designing an IT infrastructure for a small college with 3 campuses.
