[QUOTE="Jussi Roivanen, post: 371239, member: 16108"] Yep, windows workstantions have limit of 10 concurrent connections. Windows Server editions do not have that, it uses CALs (Client Access licences) and amount of connected Clients is limited by that. At one point Windows Server Essentials was limited to 50 connected Clients (50 cal) and to 25 users (created to active directory for proper domain logon). Windows Server Essentials might be enough for you at, depending other stuff in your network, and amount of users. Server is used as dedicated server so you dont design anything with server, you dont do other things with server: its just serves shared folders, runs sql server or sql server express edition (eg 3shape database instance),handles backups etc. Basically single CPU that is equal to design software recommendations will do the trick. You should do fine with 64gb of ram but 128gb is.. well, more. Any larger amounts memory is needed usually on virtualization etc, which i assume you are not doing. Knowing amount of reads and writes 10+ (and expanding) client network generates on server disks (which is a lot more than on workstation!),i would go with server grade ssds. For example Samsung 980 M.2 SSD (which is popular) has estimated life span of 1.5mil hrs, HP mixed use server SSDs have 3.35mil hours.. Sure these 200$ home ssds last eternity at home use, but not in server use. Having proper server hardware is all about redundancy, which on larger environments is an assurance. Workstation hardware is good, but no match to server in that aspect. Server RAIDs usually can have larger cache and battery backup to finish read/writes on powerloss, thus preventing things getting ****ed. Servers might be able to hold two power supplies: on psu failure, other psu takes over etc. More redundancy, more $$$ it takes. and weather to choose tower server or rack.. rack servers are darn noisy. if you have storage space or basement and a rack cabinet, then rack server is an option [/QUOTE]
