Will this server be enough for these services?

Hi everyone.

I am doing a uni project and am tasked with speccing a small startup (imaginary) company a server.
The company will have a maximum of 50 employees.

the server will run DHCP, Active Directory, Domain Naming System, IIS, RADIUS.


Would this do the job do you think or is it slicing the loaf too thin ? am not quite sure how to evaluate it .

HPE ProLiant DL160 Gen9 Xeon E5-2609V4 1.7 GHz 16GB RAM 1U Rack Server.

thank you.
 
first of all, thank you so much for your replies.

I 'purchased' a HPE 1.2TB 12G 10k rpm HPL SAS SFF 2.5in SC ENT 3 Year Wty Hard Drive for the server along with a HPE MSL2024 0-Drive Tape Library and 10 tapes so we can rotate them . these will be used for things like user configurations etc and to give us some redundancy. it will be connected to a APC Smart-UPS X 1500 Rack/Tower LCD - UPS - 1200 Watt - 1500 VA system but atm we have no backup server. my problem is Im not sure how to do the write up to justify the selection. If I were choosing a home pc Id know what I wanted to run -- games, vm's , ms office etc and could look at benchmarks but when it comes to enterprise stuff Im completely in the dark and dont know how to evaluate it. if anyone could help along these lines so I sound marginally intelligent I would appreciate it. :)

ooops forgot to mention. its for 4 separate companys sharing an 'incubation' unit .. -- they will do web design, games design, music production and video production.

Why is that a uni project?

its for professional skills which encompasses things like business practices, ethics, data protection, risk assessments, safe harbour and generally tries to teach us to look at things in a way that business does (read "accountants") rather than just the tech side.
