Ok specs:
either 2-Opteron 6320-or-1-6378, Tyan S8236GM3NR -or-ASUS KGPE-D16 SSI, 64 GB Memory, Supermicro CSE-835Q 3U rackmount server case with redundant 800W power supply, 4-WD black 2TB SATA drives (3 for RAID 5 config and one extra as hot-swap), WD or LaCie external 4 or 6 TB drive for full image of RAID, LG black Blu-ray reader/writer, Windows 2012 r2 server. Mainly running as a small business server with less than 50 users. Want the ability to scale to eventually bring exchnage in-house in next year or two, possibly host our own web server too. For now it will be replacing a worn-out DELL 2003 r2 server that is not even set up as anythign but anotehr CPU on the network. Minimal security, software firwall etc. I also have a Cisco 501 PIX box I am throwing in place as a better FW. What are the thoughts out there on this? Redundancy is needed plus decent on-site ack up. That is whay I am doing th eRAID 5 and then the external 4-6 TB drive. Also, important files leave via DVDRW with owner at the end of the day. Also, running enterprise quickbooks and Symantec server resident.
I am open to any thoughts/what am I missing.
oops, and add a WD SSD 240GB for boot/system
