Go with Dell, HP, or IBM , 3-18 gig disk or 4-9 gig Raid. P3/866 with 1 meg. More memory is better. Four disks give smoother transitions if one fails. It will cost about 5K which includes three years of service.
Compaq cost to much (about $1,200 more), limits your ability to use third party stuff, and offer no additional benefit. I know I use both Dell and Compaq servers. ellery july Technical Lead Northwest Area Foundation 332 Minnesota e-1201 St. Paul, MN 55101 email - [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone - 651-225-3895 fax - 651-225-7695 -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan K [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 7:03 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Server sizing I just need some suggestions on server sizing and configuration.
