[SOLVED] Server for a company

[blademiller]

Hi Guys!

Nowadays my company asked me for an advice about building a server for the office.
We have about 14 PCs, and 15-20 users are using them 24/7.


Our goal with the server is simplify the production, store every shared files on it, and centralize all of the application servers, we use on the Network. (Now 4-5 PC doing the same job, and its often causes trouble).

I would like to ask you, about this configuration shown below, is it great for our demands, or do you know better alternatives?

Windows Server 2019 Essentials (running Active Directory with Roaming Profiles, DNS, DHCP, File Sharing, RADIUS server, Print Server and one VM for AD Replication)
Dell PowerEdge R340 Intel Xeon E-2100v6, 16GB RAM with Dell BOSS(2x240GB SSD RAID1 for OS)
4x WD RED Pro 4TB (2x for Storage, 2x for Backup) - HDD Size Calculated from current usage, with predicted future usage.
APC Smart-UPS 1000VA SMC1000IC
All of them costs about ~3.400€.


Thanks!

If this is 24/7 requirement, replicating your AD to a VM on the same physical host is not very reliable. I think you should look at two physical servers it this is a mission critical resource.
