How powerful must a web, email, Database server be.
Dear all,
My company is thinking of implementing some new servers in our company. I was wondering how powerful a server machine has to be for the following purpose:
1. email server
2. Web server
3 Database server
Can you suggest the specification required for each of the above application?
E.g. I was thiking of an HP proliant 150G2 (equiped with 1GB RAM & 3 Hot Swapable SCSI HD).
Thanks!

Just a little advice : Keep the E-Mail and WebServer apart from the Databse Server, or if you have the budget, KEEP THEM ALL SEPARATED.

Best solution is always to have separated servers, not very cost efficient though.
As a former IBM:er I could of course suggest the Bladecenter from IBM.

Reason for my suggestion?
Hotswaps!
Brilliant idea to hotswap a SCSI drive, yes?
Even better to have the option to hotswap the whole server, that's one of the beauties with the Bladecenter,
selfcontainment and reliabillity.

It´s far cheappier, comes with a Front Side Bus 800 Mhz, and allows you to create Raid 5 per machine, because it supports up to 1.8 Tb Internal Storage, as soon as 300 Gb Hard Disks are available. On the memory side it goes up to 12 Gb DDR2 Ultra Fast Memory.
