I need serious Help here.

[BizTalk]

There is no money for improvement right now and won't be for a few months so I need to make this work for now.

Here we go....

server 1 3 6.5gb hd's and 1 9.1 gb 500mhz and 512mb memory

server 2 4 9.1gb hd's 900 mhz and 256mb memory

server 3 2 4gb hd's and 1 9.1gb hd 500mhz and 256mb memory

User load could be around 60 or 70 mark and 1 of those servers need to run exchange 5.5 or 2003. Some users will access mail via outlook or outlook express and low bandwitdh remote users will use owa hopefully to reduce the server load.

One server will need to run a handful or 2 of websites

And one server will need to be a ftp

Now all that being said i need raid configs but it's software not hardware raid.

I need to know what server should do what based on the hardware that's in them. And what raid config to put on them.

Put Exchange on Server 1. 2+3 don't have enough memory for Win2K3 Server and Exchange 2003.

1+2 should be RAID 5

3 should be RAID 0

ok so what about the other 2 servers which one should be ftp and which one should be the webserver?

[Marsden]

Take your pick... neither has enough memory to do an adequate job. I guess put the FTP on #2.
