Planning Your Servers

After you plan your organization and sites, you need to plan the number and type of servers, and the number of users that each server will support. The number of servers in a site depends on the number of users to be supported, and the number of public folders and connectors you need. However, for efficient administration, no site should have more than 50 servers. You can use the scaling information, your site layout, and the recommendations in this chapter to plan your hardware and software requirements.
