Choosing a "server" for Windows and 1C?

Question

1C

Good afternoon.

A friend asked me to help set up a server for his small business. And so I would like to know what would you advise for organizing a terminal server with 1C (with a rather heavy base of several GB) as hardware and why?

4 simultaneous clients will connect to the server. In addition, a mail and MB file server will probably be organized there.

Perhaps in the future there will be more of these same simultaneous clients.

What makes sense to take as a processor: i7 or XEON? Is it worth focusing on the so-called. "Server" iron or will the usual "desktop"?

Maybe there is a typical configuration for such tasks?

The budget is about 30 thousand, but if a cheaper configuration works just as well on such tasks, then it can be done.

I would be grateful for any opinion.

PS By the way, does it make sense to put Windows Server there?

Answer 1

For 30k you will not collect the "Server". Well, only if used and old.
To work in the terminal with 1C 4-8, users will have enough Intel Core i5-2400, 8GB of RAM. For the rest, buy the fastest disks.
You can take the motherboard on the chipset: Z68. There is (if I do not confuse) the ability to make a hybrid Raid (HDD + SSD).
If you estimate by eye then.
Keep within 23-25k excluding software.

Answer 2

Yes, here one Windows Server will cost 22t.r. + CAL's for the terminal and Server CAL. Already fifty.
I have already made a 1C server (and it works great now) on Debian, working through the web interface means a minimum of software costs, which means more money will be left for hardware.

Answer 3

> The budget is about 30 thousand, but if the configuration is cheaper to work on such tasks no worse, then you can do it.
If only the old server is single-processor on LGA775 with Xeon.

Answer 4

What platform 1s?

Answer 5

In your case, I advise you to do the following:
1. Purchase the physical server itself;
2. Install XEN Server or ESXi on it;
3. But inside it already create and configure virtual machines separately for each of the required roles or operating systems (the main thing here is not to overdo it with the number of virtual machines).

Answer 6

Em. Windows as a terminal worker separately.
Windows as 1s - separately
Windows as sql in general separately with databases on storage.
ESXi will help, but not for everything.
well, licenses for software, client terminals.
