Server Hardware needed to run Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard

Hello,

I need help to buy a new server to run windows server 2012 r2 standard. I will have between 25 or 30 Pcs all this connected to this server. I have three applications that are accessed from the server for these computers at the same time.

Could you please help me what kind of server I need? Right now for my current SBS 2003 I have an IBM XSERVER 236 MODEL:884135U.

Thanks
Aggieto

thanks,

Tell me something my current server is a tower. A rack server or blade server is better than a Tower server?

@alqasem2, are you going to ask Community support to delete that copy/paste or shall I do it for you? Plagiarism isn't allowed, especially without even bothering to post the link where you got it from.
