I really appreciate all your advice and suggestions.

Approximate Peak Times Utilization:

How many concurrent SAS jobs are being executed  
What is the typical/maximum number of concurrent sessions executing around peak time   

System-wide Totals / Information:

(Totals for system-wide resources – all responses are required)

*Total concurrent sessions     

If Stored Processes (STP) will be used by Microsoft Office sessions and/or Portal users, describe the type of activity performed by the STP (eg, analytics, summary statistics, report/graph generation, etc) Describe Stored Processes

Prime Time workloads:

Session Type                                                                                                          Concurrent Sessions                                                                                                Average Input Data Volume per Session (specify MB/GB )

Know your business. That is what these questions are about.  From that one plan the needed hardware and then build the OS and the tools. (bottom up)

Moslty it is done the other way arround. A lot of frustrations when all does not run as being promised and expected. The swing tree project cartoon.
