Question on comp.arch:
What is the number of users supported by a Server?

Can anyone point me to a site or some research that shows what the industry standard for this is? I realize it may vary based upon the environment, but if you could point me to a place to start I'd appreciate it.

And a good answer (May 2005):
You can find the number of servers here:
http://news.netcraft.com/archives/web_server_survey.html

Here you can find the number of users:
http://www.nua.ie/surveys/how_many_online/

The user count is a bit low, but just assume it grows with the
number of servers from the netcraft graph.

So it's roughly 40 users per server, I'd say.

On the other hand, at work we have about 2000 servers, and several
millions of customers / users.

And here at home it's one server and two users.

So there seems to be some variance...
