So management says. Reality is of a different approach...
I read an article at one time awhile ago that mentioned a ratio of 12:1 on "average" databases and 6:1 on mission critical databases. I don't have the article anymore and can't seem to locate where I got it from.
We currently have 3 DBA's that manage 65 production SQL servers and 14 test. Not counting MSDE.
Not complaing, job security. Was just looking for any documentation to support this.
Thanks

Michael,
A SQL Server DBA can manage all SQL Server databases. He or she
doesn't need any help! HEHE!

Hello everyone,
Can someone point me in the right direction? I am looking for
documentation that sets "guidelines" for the ratio of SQL DB servers to
DBA. We are trying to justify the need for an additional DBA in our
company.
Thank you all in advance.
