Hi
We are purchasing a Dell Server for our company, we currently have 18 users.
The server will run SBS 2003 Premium Edition, Running: SQL Server an approximately 500MB Database, Exchange, Filesharing, Intranet, Print Server & ISA Server.
It will also terminate up to 6 VPN tunnels.
We are expecting to take on 4 or so extra staff in the very near future.
This is the basic spec of the server will this be approprate and expandable for our needs.
My main concern is if RAID 5 is approprate, will the 10k disks be fine (rather than the 15k disks).
PowerEdge 2600
2 x 2.8GHz Xeon CPU
2 GB RAM
3 x 73GB 10k hard drives - RAID 5
PERC Di controller
Many thanks for your help
