I manage a TINY office which is inside a BIG company.
There are 3 of us. The BIG company supplies Exchange, Networking, etc...
We are now being told that they do not want to have some of our data stored
on their server. HENCE I need to build a "server".
This machine needs to be my workstation as well as hold the shared files the
3 of us use. It does not need to be accessable from the outside world. (At
least not until BIG company allows us to use VPNs, as they really will freak
if I were to try and enable a VPN or even a dial up access to this "server".)
What I do need to is to make sure we don't loose the data. The goal is to
save our client records in an Electronic Document Retention database. The EDR
supplier recommended that we implement RAID 1.
However, I can not determine if I can use XP Pro and enable RAID 1, or if I
obtain XP Small Business Server if I will be able to use THAT operating
system as my workstation. I do know that 90% of the features of XP Small Bus
Server would never be used here.
Help!!!!
