Just got a Steam Link... 70% off during the Steam Sale and I already have a Steam Controller.

Oh shit...I just got one of those from a conference I didn't even think of that use.

Lentils and spaetzle.

This is good news. The FCC did something right for a change.

@matteo-nunziati said in Sizing the SOHO, SMB, SME, Enterprise and Other Markets:

• SME: 2,000 - 5,000 people. True business with stable finances and acts like a true business, just one that is very small.

over 250, management starts apperaing but not so much levels.

• Medium: 5000 - 10,000 people. No longer small in any way, not a sizeable company needing serious services.
• Large: 10000 - 20,000 people. A serious company but not large enough to through its weight around based on a famous name.
• Enterprise: 20,000+ people. Those on the Fortune 1000 list or just missing it. Big, well known companies with tons of resources where they are big enough to have entire IT stacks internally, you don't need to hop between companies to move up the ladder, there is total efficiency of scale opportunity, etc.

this is far from my perception.

IBM considers SMB to be 500 - 10,000 or something like that. Under 500 they don't even consider to be a "business".

Is IBM a good bench mark?

Thinking about this I would be a generalist, although I focus on Applications, Infrastructure, and Systems Administration.

Essentially anyone outside of the enterprise is a generalist. Specialists only exist, for all intents and purposes, in large and enterprise companies and/or in IT shops that provide speciality services. There is no place in the SOHO, SMB, SME or Medium markets for specialists in house.

Not sure if I would enjoy specializing. I really like the diversity of what I'm working on.

We use Zoom for pretty much everything here.

Unless you are the elite of the elite and working with tools like Ansible, it's uncommon for Windows Admins to get beyond about 30 servers per admin in production.

That's ~where we are right now actually, slightly higher.

I think you're mostly right in the sizing, I feel like there is a lot of overlap between SMB and SME though.
