Been looking on getting a new server for a charity and have been eyeing the HP Microserver which I can get for £250, £150 with cashback but I've heard that Dell are doing some good offers at the moment.
The server will be used for 2003 R2 to run a windows app, mysql, apache with several VHosts system in the first degree and a small NAS drive in the second. Is the processor in the Microserver powerful enough? Currently the SqlDB weighs in at slightly over 100Meg and has around 20 users connected to it concurrently (may be more later). It will be web facing and I anticipate around 1000 active connections max. The app itself is very efficient in itself, but with Symantec suite and backup exec clients running in the background.
Would the Microserver with 4GB ram be able to handle it effectively? Also is there any special deals on Dell which compete with the Microserver?
Thanks in advance.
