We currently run ~12 sys admin/network admin folks with about 7 desktop techs for an ~4000 workstation/200 server infrastructure involving mostly Windows workstation and server platforms, but with about 40 Unix/Linux server platforms. That seems to work fairly well for us. Of course, there are moments of frantic activity, but never any boredom Dan -----Original Message----- From: ilaiy To: Rami.Prescott@frostbank.com Cc: security-management@securityfocus.com Sent: 10/26/2005 10:02 AM Subject: Re: IT Department Size I am guess it would be 1 windows and 1 Linux Administrator for every 100 users ...

Would anyone know of a good place to find information on how large a
system
administrator/ network engineering department should be? The general rule of thumb I've heard is 1 system administrator/network engineer for every 250 users. Is this generally true in practice? We define system administrator/network engineer as someone who has
5-10
years experience in all OS and who is responsible for the operating
system
and hardware. Thank you, Rami Prescott IT Audit
