For $1615.00 you can get a dell server, with 2 73GB SCSI drives, 1GB RAM, a tape backup with 5 tapes, and a 3 yr warranty.
Here's the question to ask everyone... is $1615 worth more or less than the value of the business?
Just my .02 as a long time IT guy... I have worked with many small businesses in the past and I have seen what happens when they don't run real servers. Granted I'm pretty sure you're offiste FTP backup will keep their doors open (I've seen businesses fail when they don't have a good back up and their server HDD dies), but I still honestly can't stress enough how important it is to run a real server as a server for a business. And the hole argument of "well they only had X before for X years and it was fine" doesn't hold water. Just because someone doesn't wear a seat belt for 20 yrs and never gets in a accident doesn't mean the one time they do get in that accident and aren't wearing a seat belt doesn't mean they won't die. |
