Hi all, I currently have a Verizon business connections with a NAS drive and 5 or less laptops using internet, etc. I'm going to be implementing a web server running a web based ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software with PostgreSQL. We also need to keep the NAS drive or use the new server or similar for data storage. The web server will be used internally for the most part. 1-2 times daily we'll sync up with data from our E-commerce website to our ERP system which takes only a few minutes, if that, to sync the daily transactions, etc. We'll use the ERP internally beyond that for pulling order data and data entry. Because it won't be in constant use, I was thinking that we could probably use it for data storage as well. We can run the ERP software on a Windows or Debian/Ubuntu server. I've chosen windows because I have more experience in that environment. I was going to get a 24 port Giga Switch and either use the verizon business router or get another and wireless access point. There will be at least 5 PC clients on the network and growing. I don't anticipate it exceeding 10 clients in the next year, but maybe. The PC's are running Windows 7 & 8.1 and we'll have 2 -3 networked printers. Other than running the ERP software like an internal intranet with occasional connections to the external website we'll be needing to setup secure folders for each user for data storage. Nothing else will be running on the server.
I got a quote from Dell for a PowerEdge T320 ( Intel Xeon E5-1410 2.80GHz, 8GB RDIMM, 1TB HD, etc) at around $3,300.00. Price isn't really a huge issue as we can afford the server and other hardware needed. I wanted to affirm that this setup was the best option for what we need to do. Most of the work in the office can be done on the PC's with an internet connection.
Please leave me your thoughts, ideas or recommendations. It would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to hear other ideas and alternatives for the network setup. Thanks so much for your help and I look forward to the input.
