I’m needing to buy the hardware to build a rack server, for 500 users, capacity for Hyperv in the future. Scalable to accomodate 30% growth within 3 years, up to 650 users, all licsensed windows server 2012 with CALs. Each user needs 5GB of HD space for storage. Initial budget is 40k including licsensing. But I can go over a little bit if it’s justified.
Can someone tell me the best products to get, I’m only in my second year of computer science and I’m a bit of a novice in the server world.
I need:
RAM
Motherboard to support virtualization
Video specs
HD specs
Type of interface for HDs
Network Interface type- thinking one single 10GB NIC?
Monitor/Keyboard/mouse
case type
OS
Licsensing solution for the 500, up to 650 users
any software i might need
