Hi
I currently have a HP ML310 server 2.0 GHz, 1 Gb RAM, 2 x 36 Gig SCSI HD's mirrored, HP C1537A DDS3 SCSI tape device and SBS 2000 running Exchange, ISA and a database application as well as being a file server.
This is the only server we have and in the event of it failing I need something in place until I rebuild it (which could take a while).
In a small company ~20 employees, what is the usual setup of servers that people with experience of small businesses have come across? Is it normal to only have one server running everything?
Ideally, I would like to have a second server which would be available should the current server die. I am unsure as to what the licensing situation would be in this case. I do not want to have to buy a second load of CALs for a server which is not in use and is acting only as a backup.
Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks
Cam
