Using energy wisely is no secret. It's simply a matter
of awareness, knowledge and planning.
–Dominion Virginia Power’s Website
Virginia Power also maintains that by being informed
and improving efficiency, energy consumption can
be reduced by 15%

Preliminary Sizing Calculations
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
2 web servers + 2 spares = 4 web servers
100,000 users x 10% concurrent users = 10,000 users
10,000 users x 1 database server/500 users = 20 database servers
20 database servers x 1 raid storage/db server = 20 raid storage
2 processors/server x 20 servers = 40 processors
2 NICS / server x 24 servers = 48 network connections.
48 network connections x 24 / switch = 2 switches + 2 spares = 4 switches
