Hi all
Is it just me or is there no clear statement of what constitutes the above? I am building a BES environment that will over time add up to 1000 users I suspect. Over the comings 6 months though i expect it not to surpass 300.
I want to keep my build very simple and have all components (DB held remotely however) installed on 1 BES VM with 2-4 Virtual CPU's and up to 8GB RAM. The backend storage is ISCSI based and our I\O should be fine (I may well baseline this anyway just to be thorough). I will then have a "standby" BES VM for failover.
2 questions really,
1) would 1000 users be considered small-scale
2) Does this design sound alright?
I have read a great deal about seperating the BAS from the BES but I really struggle to find clear reasons why and in which situations it is worth doing so.
Any advice gratefully received.
p.s. just checked my ISCSI and currently running 2500 iops accross entire SAN, capable of well over 20000 so I think iops shouldn't be an issue
