Server design
My problem is that I need to come up with a solution for a small buisness that requires 11 workstations to be connected to a database for customer service. Also, each workstation must be able to email, word process and print.
Is it normal to have all of these services provided by one server and also be used as a file server. eg: a server that can print, file, database and email serve?
If more than one server is required, should I have a database on one server and the other server to do file serving, email, etc.
What NOS software would you recommend, I was thinking windows server 2003. What OS software for the workstations, Windows XP Pro ?
What size, speed, RAID or not would you recommend?
Any answers would be appreciated. As you can probably tell I am a novice
