Hey all,
I have recently acquired a few Dell Blade Servers (P3's I think, haven't looked at them yet)
What I would like to do is set these servers up at my workplace, so I can access them from the internet (I don't want to have them at home, because my broadband is not consistant or reliable enough to have 24/7 access)
These servers will have all of my generic documents, and will be a place I can save files too large for my memory stick to, and so I can access movies from anywhere, so I don't have to have them on my memory stick. I probably wouldn't buy a server to do just this, but since I was given two I thought I might as well do something with them
Networking is my weak point with computing, and although I do have a general idea of what has to be done, I am still not 100% sure. I want it to be as safe as possible (Not my files as as such, but the network) and accessible everywhere and fast.
The servers, as far as I know, are running a version of WS (When were the P3's around, what edition might it be?) but if they haven't, would VNC be the best idea? I have some licences of XP that I can use.
So basically, I would like to know what I should take care with, and what has to be done to get my servers online. I would really appreciate some help with this, and I may have to kiss the person who makes this a reality.
Cheers,
Chris.
