Hello all,
So, I just started a new job and it's a rather small company and they don't like to spend money on tech upgrades... With that being said, our current server is on a Dell T110 workstation... We have a Dell Precision T3500 that I just installed server 16 on and created a vm of our current server in. Obviously the T3500 isn't exactly the best choice for a server in 2018 imo. All our server is used for is file storage, some ftp stuff and that's really about it. I have an FX 8350 system I built a while back that's basically just collecting dust, all of the parts are basically brand new, it has a decent Gigabyte mobo, hyper 212 evo cpu cooler 32gb corsair vengeance ram @1666mhz and a 500w coolermaster 80+ bronze psu. Really all it will be used for is running 3-5 vms. Just trying to get an idea on whether this would be a better server setup than what we currently have. I know the 32gb of ram that's in it would be a massive upgrade from the 8gb that's in the current server. I don't want to hear x,y or z would be better for a server because I promise it's not in the budget. Like I said, very cheap company and I'm looking at this as a less expensive way for us to upgrade the server and make my life a bit easier by not having to wait 10-45 seconds for applications to open and then be super laggy.
TIA
