| I need your help friends
My company wants to buy a new "Windows 2000" Server, to work as "mail server" and be used to access the internet - not a web server -
can any friend help me with these questions:
* what is the software and hardware requirements to this server? - consider more than 200 users -
* what is the best security strategy to use? -i feel that ISA firewall is weak please sugest another if you know -
* Any answer will be appreciated. 
THANK YOU MY FRIENDS | |

| Where I work we use Dell PowerEdge servers. Our web/email server has dual 733mhz procs & 1gb ram and we have over 1200 email users using it. Hope this helps some. | |

WOW! REALLY POWER!
Actually, are PowerEdge servers the best choice for the medium & large business at the moment? | |

| In different jobs I've used Compaq, HP, and now Dells. They all have their strong points. We use the Dell here because they give us a good deal because we are an educational institute.
BTW, we just got in 4 new rack cabinets with 8 new Dells. Each cabinet has 2 PowerEdge 2550 (dual 1ghz, 1gb ram, 4-18gb SCSI drives), UPS, KTM switch, 16 port switch, and LCD monitor. Believe it or not, these are not for production use. We get to use them to teach our students hardware RAID configurations and how to setup a "real" server. This will help the students get some much needed hands-on before going out into the real world. | |
