I am a new forum member here needing information on server hardware. I am installing an electronic medical records program in a small one-doctor office that runs on a dedicated server. Here are the system requirements per the program:

Server:

Equivalent to Quad Core 2.66 Ghz processor or higher

4GB RAM, 32GB+ System Drive

500GB + Data Drive Raid 1 - 72GB OS partition

DVD drive

Backup system

 

Server operating system (required):

Windows 2008 Server (Standard) 32 bit only

 

Database Platform:

SQL Server 2005 Standard edition (included with software purchase)

 

I plan to have four hard-wired workstations running off the server and one or two wireless tablets.

I am trying to keep the budget in the $2000 range for the server hardware. Recommendations for specific server hardware as well as RAID configuration and practical daily back-up solution greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I would go with a quad core cpu

8 gigs of ram

40 gig ssd for OS boot

second sata 3 had 1 tb

 

That should do it and be way under $2000 for hardware.
