    My boss wants me to determine specs for future (next several years) SQL Server configurations (ex adding new servers, more processors, clustering)to accommodate future growth. I really am not sure where to begin.

    We currently have a very simple configuration now (1 server with 1 processor.

    Any suggestions or any ideas on books/resources???

    Thanks

    Here's an old trick:

    As him/her for assumptions about the business over the same time period: acquisitions, divestitures, regulatory changes, industry trends (yours, business, economy), etc.

    The make some projects based on that.

    If s/he gives you none, provide your own and assume based on that. This kind of blue sky crap comes around all the time. Bean counters and budget planners ask for. make something up and give it to them in nice little spoonfuls.
