    I have about 125 boxes (mix of Solaris, AIX, HP, and Red Hat), and I'm all alone. Make sure you definitely don't tell your boss that
    one. Previously, I worked for a company that had a "standard" for this. Their thought was 60-75 boxes per admin, which is
    exactly what John Jolet's ratio is... I feel a little bit overworked (especially because I also do some development work), but my
    environment is pretty stable, so another person would likely be kind of bored.
    I do get a college student "intern" in the summer and during winter semester break, so I do get some time to do things that pile up.
    I'm trying to convince my boss that we need someone else at least part time....

            Anybody have any IBM Documentation defining the AIX Admins to Boxes ratio?

            I'm an AIX Admin supporting some 14 AIX Boxes and a few RH Boxes; I think I could use some help. My boss wants to see if IBM agrees.

            Thank you.
