There is no calculator that you can simply put in the 3 usages of the server and will tell you what to buy...<br />
First of all you have to look what was the specs of the server you are replacing? Or, &nbsp;is it a new purchase? <br />

<blockquote>
2, RDP server with up to 20 clients. Running office 2016 , Adobe, and SQL client software.
</blockquote>
20 Concurrent clients?<br />
Which Adobe products? what is &quot;SQL Client&quot;? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
What do is your primary role for file server? Read? Write? Both?<br />
<br />
I am not saying that I will be able to answer you once you provide the details, just wanted to point out, that (in my opinion,) there is no &quot;Calculator&quot; &nbsp;that you can use for this

Thanks Phil the Performance expectations link helped. <br />
I also contacted another party who told me the same specs. <br />
<br />
I'm going with a Hp Proliant ML350 Gen 10 with 1-8 core CPU, 64 gigs of memory, 4 TB storage Raid 5, 2 power supply for redundancy. <br />
and 2 licenses.

Thanks for everyone's help.

RAID 5 should not be used anymore. There's just too much risk with large drives requiring a lot of time to rebuild.<br />
<br />
We only deploy RAID 6 when we're doing so with standalone systems.

We are going to be purchasing a new server for one of our clients. <br />
as far as disk space I know what i need. <br />
<br />
When it comes to administering CPU and memory I'm not too sure what i need. <br />
<br />
We will have 3 guest Machines in hyper v.<br />
1. DC only<br />
2, RDP server with up to 20 clients. Running office 2016 , Adobe, and SQL client software.<br />
3 File server.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know how to calculate what i might need or have a requirements table to go by?

How much of a server do i need to run hyper v with 3 guests.

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.
