trivers1982 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Here we have: 500 PCs 120 iMacs 30 Staff Laptops (but very little work required on these) 10 Servers 60 Projectors 60 IWB 1200 Students - 80% incompetant 200 Staff (including Admin) - 99% incompetant. 2 of us Techs sitting in a tiny office while a single admin lady gets an office twice the size.

trivers1982 Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 120 macs? somebody has way to much money! I've got 7 which arrived last week! and i hate them already. One of the SLT is a Mac fan-boy and was determined to get them for CDT, Media, Music and Art. Costs us way too much in broken hardware (yes mac do break), stress, time (down to stupid staff and students) and software. Tech hate them as we have to install a VPC so they can run their software, so why did they get them in the first place! Art only use photo shop so could have spent £700 per system on top of the range PCs, they cant get used to them and would have preferd PCs. He assured us that iMacs were industry standard in Video and Photo Editing, Music production and Design and tech. We have had several students return to us from uni saying they all use PCs!!! Complete waste of money, time and bother if you ask me. But then again its something I can put on my CV!
rbance Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) Hi Guys, I use to do these calculations when working as an Architect in the IT Outsourcing industry..... 1:200 for Student devices and 1:125 for Staff devices.... Thin Clients get up to 1:800 (assuming a swap out model).... But...there are also a lot of other factors to take into account when getting the actual fte ratios I have not included any AV work in here as yet.... see picture attached.
