Hi All,
Can I ask for a bit of advice. I am looking at a HPE Server (ML350 Gen10) for a client (accounting firm) and wondered what specification you would use for the following scenario.
1 x VM - Windows Server 2019 / DC and network services / SQL Express running 2 server apps (IRIS and Virtual Cabinet)
- Note: SQL Express has a max database size limit of 10GB
- IRIS Server - Requirements 2 GHZ Processor / 16GB RAM / 300GB disk space
- Virtual Cabinet Server - Requirements 3Ghz Processor / 4GB RAM / 300GB disk space
1 x VM - Windows Server 2019 / RDS / 9 users running:
- Sage - Requirements 2Ghz Processor / 8GB RAM / Min 5GB disk space
- IRIS Client - Requirements 3Ghz Processor / 4GB RAM / Min 15GB disk space
- Virtual Cabinet Client - Requirements 2Ghz Processor / 4GB RAM / 150GB disk space
The current server is as follows:
- 1 x HP ML350p Gen8 with 24GB RAM / Raid 10 SAS drives
- Vmware ESXi 5.0 (Yes, this definitely should be upgraded)
- Services: DC running the server software detailed above.
The current Windows PC's are as follows:
- i5 or i7 Processor with a minimum 8GB of RAM. They are never maxed.
Any advice on the right specification hardware and the correct VMware licensing would be greatly appreciated.
