Ask HN: how many internal sysadmins does your startup have?

1 pointsby jotangoover 12 years ago
Hello,<p>I am currently trying to estimate how many internal system administrators our startup needs as we scale up. I know this depends on a ton of factors, but I would like to see some comparison numbers.<p>Our specs:<p>- 240 people, ca. 30% engineers, 30% artists, rest misc<p>- On average 12 people starting per month<p>- 60% iMac and MacBooks, 30% Thinkpads, 10% desktops<p>- Internal IT tasks: onboard new hires, keep existing computers running, internal office networking, some general maintenance (coffee machines). No servers in the office, no devops etc., purely office infrastructure.<p>We currently have one experienced admin, one junior admin and one handyman (half-time).<p>It would be great if you could share your "specs"!
