Where do I get a Server from?

PROLIANT

Hi, for more than 75 users you can't use Small Business Server so Windows server 2003 R2 standard edition with 100 Client access licenses will do.
As for hardware I can recommend the HP ProLiant family, excellent quality and after sales and support is A1.
Try Misco or Servers direct for good deals.

He doesn't actually want a server, he just wants someone to do his homework for him.

A 2.93 GHz dual quad-core Intel Xeon model with 48 GB of RAM, 6 TB of HDD space, an Xserve RAID card, a Dual-channel Gigabit Ethernet card, Quad-channel 4Gb Fibre Channel card, a Promise VTrak E-Class 16x 450 GB SAS RAID subsystem, and Dual 750W Power Supplies, is only £28,164.

If you want support, the Alliance level of Mac OS X Server Software Support costs an additional £40,699, bringing the total to £68,863.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it. :cool:

For that spec it's easy to see why people convert to Apple. I wouldn't mind trying an xserve as webserver in colo but would have to be cheaper. Apple comes up trumps on low power but high for cost

I have an old Pentium 180 he can borrow, with 64MB RAM and a 120MB hard disk ...

Works a treat with Window 3.11 for Workgroups ... even got it going nicely with Win 95 once :rotfl:

I would suggest you do your own homework and research for this school project course or whatever it is. Rather than cheat by getting help on forums such as this.

But it's always good to get suggestions as well as added material.

The OP should also put down a VMWare solution/ESXi solution because the benefits are it saves loads of money, power and air cooling.

Only a little less than mine running my website!

Originally Gateway P2 (350Mhz), put in a P3 (500Mhz), which shouldn't work,but does.
Max 2x128MB ram, put in 2x256MB, which shouldn't work, but does, added dodgy XP and wamp on a 8GB HD, and now playing with HTML and Komposer.

To the OP, got it from peoples throw outs and Freecycle, total cost £0

This is an excercise for the CCNA so the solution needs to be reliable and sensible, as if it were a real school and he were designing the network. How hard is that to understand, or how hard was that to explain in the first place?

You MUST have more details that just the numbers of machines ...like what they are going to be used for etc. ? Also this info must have been posted online so many times by others in the CCNA loop that it's easy to find the answers to this same excercise. The reasoning behind the choice matters more than the actual selection.

Please don't call hardware a "web server" like someone here did though, Apache is a web server...and I have one on a USB stick...a webserver is NOT a computer of any kind.

Try the Cisco netacademy for info too..it's brilliant and everything you need to know is there if you look for it.

GL with a CCNA ...subnetting, man I hated learning that lol
