We have a TS server here that has a 1.6GHz Xeon, with 4GB and RAID 0 and have about 50 users that can access it at any given point. Would recommend making sure that the HD size is big enough for all of the user files that get created. ---_______________________________ Cameron Cooper IT Director - CompTIA A+ Certified Aurico Reports, Inc Phone: 847-890-4021 Fax: 847-255-1896 [email protected] From: Neil Standley [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 12:15 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: TS server recommendations Hello I've been tasked with putting a quote together for a customer and need some assistance. They require a Term server that'll support 20 users with Office 2007 Small business, the customers primary need is for Word and Excel. Do you think this is sufficient to support 20 concurrent users? I'm trying to compete against Dell for the customer's bid so I need to keep it as low as possible. Dual Quad-core Xeons (2.33Ghz) 8GB RAM 3 disk Raid 5 (plus spare) (7200 Rpm drives) w 15 or 32MB cache + Hardware raid controller cache has (512MB) Win2K3 Thanks for your input.
