Just a guess but did you have a value on Server operation per year and if you do is that amount that high? I would skip server 2008 altogether and consider 2012. Sure it is a lot more secure that what you are running today and it looks a lot different at times as well. We just upgraded to 2012 servers both hard iron for data as well as 50 in virtual virtual. We have all ERP Apache apps running in their own virtual server, and each app will have a Test as well as a Prod server. All are in Server 2012. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Analyst Ring Container Technology Oakland TN 901.246-0159 cell --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cajidmyjkv2ag4mvcvya12q6k1knonasu-qadb4ggpv8aome...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
