Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How many UNIX engineers are necessary? Post 93666 by Perderabo on Wednesday 21st of December 2005 07:46:08 AM

It depends on a lot of factors. At least two for sure. What happens if you break a leg or something? A 1 to 100 ratio seems reasonable. We are at 1 to 135 or so... we could really use another person. We have stuff pretty much under control though. If you have some problems, maybe you need 3. 4 starts to sound excessive.

One bad scenario is a power loss to the computer room. (Despite a super ups backed up by a diesel generator, this happened to us!) How long would it take you to restart everything? Can your company live with that?

I would be interested in other peoples' opinions.
