Hardware Server Sizing

Dear EE,

Can you please help me how we can calculate number of Processors, RAM, HDD and Network Sizing when we need to purchase new Enterprise Server. (Dell, HP etc)

Please note that for IBM AIX we have calculations.

For Network AIX Said:-
20 concurrent users(normal)
0.45MB / concurrent users (standard network volume)
= 20 * 0.45 MB = 9 MB total Bandwidth.

Thanks

There isn't just a general guideline.

You have to tell us what the server is used for (just file server, application server, database Server, webserver etc), are you going to virtualize the OS (today that would be preferred, as you are more flexible), if so, what will your hypervisor be (VMware ESXi, Citrix, m$ Hyper-V, Linux KVM etc)? If you are going to have several VM's, how many, what OS. Also what will your server OS be?

Not to forget about Terminal Server, if so... what software is being used?

Please see that we have

2) Web servers (NLB Configured)
2) Application servers (desktop application)
2) Database servers (clustered)

Please see that we have we have 18 concurrent users.And we have 5,680000 total contracts(max)

The operating system / hardware / software will NOT be used as virtualize or hypervisor the servers will be physical.

I just need to know that who i calculate the processors,ram,network bw,hdd from any formula.
