Help with New Server hardware configuration/specs planning
Looking for a new server which will be a domain server/file server/exchange/and terminal server
Currently there is 10 users but estimated to grow in the next 5 years to about 20 currently have 10 mail boxes estimate over the next 5 years to go up to 35 terminal server will start with less than 5 but maybe over the next 5 years will switch more office staff to terminal server.
The way I would architect this, 2 servers one for exchange a domain and one for file and terminal, the terminal server should be a box that can expend so if we decide to move to terminal it can be upgraded.
Also would add power so each server can back up to each other and in case of deserter host for temporary.
Does this make sense or am I off? Also what spaces would you recommend?

OVH has good pricing + best you're a command line Savant to use their server provisioning.

What would you recommend do go about such environment/servers
ASKER
The file and domain on one and exchange and terminal on the other thing would be to much load

In the article in the link I'm not sure if it applies when it's on one physical but on separate virtual servers

If I understand you correctly you would put the domain/file/and terminal on one physical and exchange on the other is that correct?
