At present, we estimate a number of large networking devices based on the combined number of desktop devices and
servers, applying a 50% ratio.
At present, we estimate a number of average networking devices based on the total number of devices divided by 16
(using this as an average number of devices supported by one network device). We calculate one count for employee
devices and another for servers, to account for their potentially different locations.
