I stumbled upon a post that (despite its publish date) presented a good strategy for choosing a Server. While these strategies are broad, they should help you know what to look for when researching the most up-to-date hardware offerings from the likes of Dell, HP, etc.
How to Pick A Server – Strategies for Small Business:
- Build out external storage early on, such as an IP San (iSCSI)
- Choose Hardware with Low Power Consumption and Heat Output
- Check out Blade Server systems as an alternative to Rack Servers, as they can be easier to manage and grow
- Scrutinize Warranty Programs to ensure the best fit for your business
As always, Contact Me if you would like help researching, designing, or sizing server hardware for your home or small business!
