rob Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Opinions please. We are phasing out our SBS 2003. With years of old QB's, years back of ATX, Proseries 2013 what would be a better choice? SBS 2008 or Server 2012. I was thinking originally Server 2012 but didn't realize it has pretty much the Windows 8 look. And I am worried many programs will not run on Server 2012. Thanks.

Jack from Ohio Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Unless you have a specific need for a dedicated server, get a high powered pc with Raid5 capabilities and do peer to peer. This applies to ALL your programs. Server Software is a pain in the Gluteus Maximus. Unless you have multiple companies with the need to separate groups of people's access, skip the server and server software. When the server we have at the firm dies, that is what we are going to do. ZERO program compatibility issues that way. Raid5 with three 2TB hard drives provide redundancy for data and peer to peer is very easy to use.
