visiting one of my clients, i have seen a quote of about 3k for a small business server.
windows etc, with all the gubbins to run 5 computers.
though in the grand scheme of things, this is not a lot of cash, the company (and myself tbh) think this is daftness, when there is already a usb backup/online backup happening and things are working semi-fine at the moment, on a peer-t0-peer (windows share) type solutiojn.
what the company really needs, is:
- emails with a server, not just clients on a laptop
- data safety, unified backups
- data security (aka encryption)
- hardware redundancy (aka, we dont care if a laptop breaks)
i'm a mac and linux person, and i know this can be done with ubuntu. but the only person that could take care of it, would be me. linux isnt very user friendly, for the people who work there.
anyone got any ideas on how to get this for an economy price?
