How Many DBAs Do You Need To Support Databases?

Forrester’s Noel Yuhanna makes a point in How Many DBAs Do You Need To Support Databases? that it may not be the number of DB instances per DBA that counts, but the total size of the DBs managed. His data suggests that a DBA manages DBs worth 5TB of data on average, and that companies with a high ratio of instances to DBA have a lot of small DBs. Interested to see if that holds when we look at our own numbers!
