May 28, 201015 yr I am thinking about buying server hardware dedicated to our FM11A server. Any suggestions. We have about 40 simultaneous client connections and plan to have 100+ web connections, not all simultaneously or even for very long. Currently the Server is on a Win 2k3 server that is also handling DHCP, FTP, and Print Services. I thought I read somewhere to not have such services running at the same time with FM server. I would like to know everyone else's setup: OS, additional services run, etc. This server will only host the FM Server and will connect to a separate Web Server. I have heard of FM Server hosting online, but I am not too familiar with it, anyone shed some light on that as well? Thanks!
May 29, 201015 yr Almost impossible to answer, not knowing the complexity & design of your solution of the type of actions the users will be doing (for instance: heavy duty reporting vs looking at static data). Just buy the best possible hardware that you have budget for and otherwise follow the established and published best practices: do not put anything else on the box.
