I am looking for a cost effective hardware solution that can be used for backups. I am currently using continuum rmm which has a backup and offsite option but their supplied hardware options are bit expensive for my needs. I have read a number of topics on spiceworks and most seem to point to vendor appliance solutions rather then hardware only. Each box will be backing up 1 to 6 servers so storage needs will vary depending on the customer. Does anyone know if there is a great place to purchase entry level server hardware with server 08 or 2012 under $1500?
Specs needed:
1U Server
1 Quad Core processor
8GB of RAM
RAID 1 and 5 capable
1TB storage
