Can I ask what you want to run on the servers as far as software? Also what kind of setting they will be in? If you just want network storage for a small office you might want something like a NAS box or &quot;network attached storage&quot;. Usually easy and user friendly systems that are expandable (to some extent). Let me know what you are looking for specifically but I will keep my eye out for any articles that might be helpful for you.

<div>
There is so much ground to cover in your question....<br />
<br />
Please review CompTIA Server+ certification<br />
<br />
You can also contact a local Dell or HP rep and have them &quot;show you the ropes&quot;.<br />
<br />
If you have a specific requirement that you are looking to fill, please state what you want to accomplish and we can go from there.

Hardware

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
