Hi all,
I am curious if anyone is aware of best practice recommendations for the number of Microsoft DBAs for an organization. This is just for Microsoft SQL Server, for a per instance, server, or DB recommendation; hoping to have it backed up by a reputable third party company like Gartner or a staffing organization, or your own experience. I do realize that this is highly dependent on many factors (i.e. what functions/technologies you use, how highly available and complex your environment is, etc.) so I am hoping I don't get that included in the response; I understand that already. Something very general and high level that we could use as a general benchmark.
Really appreciate any guidance.
