Bought the first server on Thursday of last week (or was it Friday?). Anyways, the server is a 2x Quadcore, 2.66GHz Xeon , 16GB RAM, and 2 500GB SATA drives.
The plan is to load Windows SBS 2008 and Exchange on this server. It will act as the customer portal (using Windows 2008's portal configuration) to allow users to upload/download and submit jobs as well as control account information and payment information via secure connection.
Two draw backs to this: users will have to submit a form for account creation which will have to be hand built (safer and keeps away bots), and files will have to pass through the SBS to their final destination (end user or user's NAS folder).
I'll plan around that for the next hardware migration in a few years. Regardless, I'm super pysched!
