We will be deploying Exc2000 standard later this summer, +/- 100 users we have about 5GB pub 5GB priv now (exc55) win2k, ol2k clients we will be getting a new server what do others of you have, I don't have a ton of $ to spend, but need something rock solid. one vendor has quoted compaq proliant ml370/512RAM smart array 5i controler/ 18GB drives. my boss and the other vendor don't seem to think raid1 for os/software/logs and raid5 for db is necessary for our size, only 1 raid5 partitioned. help please thanks dave BWBR Architects [EMAIL PROTECTED] List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm This electronic transmission, including any attachments may contain information which is confidential and/or proprietary and is intended for review solely by the party(s) to whom it is addressed.
