Okay... in our office we have about 18 PCs and one server (Which is running XP... webserver and some applications the clients interface with, so the XP limit of 10 connections isn't affecting us)... however it is a bit long in the tooth and is causing us a few problems now so it's about time to move on.
I've been looking at the Dell rack servers at the moment, and i'm just wondering what a realistic spec is.
It will be used for Apache/PHP/MySQL (Internal only, so load is about 40 requests a minute)... It will also be used for Sellfone which is a server based program with clients on the PCs... It is a little intensive so contributes to crippling our current system. We also have shared folders which the staff store documents in to access around the office and such.
To do this do we need CALs (I'm not sure what exactly a CAL is for, but i'm going to assumme I won't need them just to have a large-ish workgroup).
We were looking at a 3ghz dual core P4 with 2GB ram and a 76gb 10,000rpm hdd @ £1400 or so...
Any recommendations?
