After years of smooth sailing, my company¹s dedicated FileMaker server has become unstable. It¹s a Toshiba self-contained unit that has been very invisible in terms of administrationit just works... until now.
I was going to install Server 5.5 on a Mac G4 1.25 GHz with 768 MB ram running OSX 10.4.4 We have about 20 users in a mixed PC and Mac environment. I have some questions-- 1. Will this G4 be okay or should I get an Xserve? 2. If I use this G4, should I install a SCSI UltraWide hard drive and controller in the computer? (The ³FileMaker Server Best Practices² document recommends at least a SCSI UltraWide drive and to partition the drive) 3. On the G4, should I be running OSX 10.4 server instead of just regular 10.4? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. -Adam --
