We're quite light users.

We have an old Poweredge 2800 and 4 users on the network.

We use our server purely for Sage and then just storage of work files etc.

We are now starting to come into problems with our poweredge with downtime now becoming more and more often.

So I am looking to upgrade our system. We have to take into consideration some important factors.

1. Server atm is on 2003 and users all running XP. Our current sage version will only work on 2003, if we install server 2008 we need to upgrade our sage which in turn means we also need to upgrade the users to windows 7.

What sort of options do I have?

Virtual server?
Juts upgrade the server and pcs?
Cloud server? ( Internet speed is only 2.5meg )
 
I am sorry it is Sage200 so SQL etc all a must.

I am thinking of various options.

1. Sage online but expensive + generic server for our small files 50 gb ish.

2. Virtual server altogether very expensive

3. New server with a 2003 virtual in it. Is this possible? Always thought one server on one domain?

4. Go the full whack, latest sage 200, latest server and upgrade all clients to windows 7. However this is extremely expensive and will cause a pain on our custom bits in Sage.

At the moment I'm like number 3.
 
I think Sage 200 online with like a 3G backup should do the trick tbh.

Really trying to get a way to have this pushed online and think having a 3g backup would do the trick. And then the server will be a lot more simple.

Internet issue is purely down to the location/
