1. For central office to have at least small server room – dedicated isolated room with at least consumer Air Conditioner [better japanese – about 1500000 mnt + installation fee]( when you use only RACK without server room – too loud, physically not secure even for locked RACK [anybody can hit or collide with RACK and shock damages hard drives], too much dust which will clog all fans and as consequence rise of temperature, fan speed, even more noise). Size is at least 2×2.5 meter to place RACK and be able to go around it, room door better to place exactly in opposite of RACK door – easier to slide long equipment into RACK. The cheapest room is from gypsum boards.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. If budget is tight, instead of real servers, buy reliable good Dell Optiplex workstation with improvements like — 16Gb RAM, i7 cpu, two or better even 3-4 SATA drives, or if budget allows –\u00a0SSD drives, preferable also with full vPro\/AMT kvm support, or at least Standard Manageability (not so good as Dell iDRAC or HP iLO, but better vpro than nothing)<\/p>\n

3. use it as Hyper-V server (each SATA for one\/two VMs – otherwise sluggish).Esxi and others is too capricious to device drivers.<\/p>\n

4. don’t be too shy and limited – start using AD\/Active Directory (in my opinion when number of computers become more than 5). AD can be used even when you have problems with licensing and so on.<\/p>\n

5. don’t save money on UPS. As i see too many companies use very good, expensive SmartUPS, but don’t care to configure graceful shutdown.Especially it’s true and actual for server, and moreover for virtualized servers or DB server.<\/p>\n

6. don’t forget about backups. There are a lot of free and cracked very good solutions (for example Veeam BR) to backup your VMs to old desktop computer with extra HDDs thru network by schedule.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":null,"protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-72","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-smb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itforce.mn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itforce.mn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itforce.mn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itforce.mn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itforce.mn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.itforce.mn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":289,"href":"https:\/\/www.itforce.mn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72\/revisions\/289"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itforce.mn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itforce.mn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itforce.mn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
