Organization

I am in the process of determining a structure for our organization and am
new to MS Project. I have installed MS Project 2007 Server Edition. I will be
the project manager and would like some of the expert to weigh in on their
experience of good structure. Here is my problem.

I will have about 20 main projects each with about 100 subprojects. Is the
best way to organize it as I described above? Have about 20 main projects
with man subprojects? Or have all 100 subprojects be projects on their own?

Each project will have an almost exact same workflow. Meaning that the tasks
for each will be go to the exact same people in the same order.

I would like to create a structure that is optimal for storage and
accessibility.

Any advice?

The main question is whether it is better to have many projects with
reoccuring tasks OR few projects with millions of tasks.

I usually attack this problem from a couple of different dimensions:

1) how are the projects going to be updated for actuals?
2) who is going to own each of the projects?
3) what reports do I need the projects to produce?

If you can answer two out of the three, or better yet three out of
three, you may see your answer somewhere in the intersection.
