Client Budget
A lot of us are making good points for a p2p XP server etc. I
agree, as I stated in my last post, that in many cases that is fine
a small client. But, the debate is somewhat off. First thing
anyone does is ask the client their current needs and future
projections for growth. Then most would ask for a budget. If the
client says $1500 setup and done....here comes the p2p. If they
say $5000 finished and running then sell them an entry level
$2500 to $3500 server and some server based AV and install it
for within, or very close to the budget. The debate should not be
which is better...p2p or Server. It should be what does the client
want, need based on growth and budget, and wish for feature
wise.
I too agree that linux or a Mac server would be great (as I am a
mac fan) but, even in a 5 user shop their are great benefits to
using GP and server based Anti-Virus etc that are features a mac
server does not give you. I really wish someone would come out
with a GP app for a mac server so that I could control pc settings
from OS X. Now that is a dream.
