Question Server choice and configuration ?

[henri_0001]

I don't know if I can post this here, but if not let me know I will take it down.

I am going to install a server for a friend who is opening a dental clinic. I have never installed a server, but have worked with some. I have come here to ask for server recommendations.

The server will have to process 3D rendering images in dtx studio or in romexis. And the clinic will be using dentadmin. There will be 4 client pc's (3 cabinets and the reception).

The dtx studio requirements and romexis requirements are here:

https://www.planmeca.com/software/specifications/system-requirements-romexis-6/

I was looking at the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 but I don't know what the best configuration would be in this case. I think taking the minimum requirements provided by dtx studio or romexis is not enough. I hope somoene has experience in this field and would like to share their ideas or tips on a server or on the configuration.

Also security tips and backup tips are always welcome.

thanks in advance (if you know a forum where I can find help for this question, I would appreciate it if you shared.

A DL360 is a 1U server. It has small fans and is noisier than any other option. A DL380 will be quieter since it is a larger chassis. HP used to have a ML350 which was an even larger chassis, but it seems to be discontinued with gen10.
