Question: Is the next gen server hardware gonna be worth it for us small guys running AC server and a simple domain?
Answer: It depends. Using five year old SSD drives and refurbished servers today you can get impressive speeds out of AC and most other applications for pennies on the dollar that many practices on this forum will find more than acceptable. The new stuff coming out does have some impressive specs, no doubt about it. Very impressive, indeed. But unless you just feel that bleeding "need for speed" and have to have the absolute best, I won't be recommending brand new servers to most of the practices on this forum for the simple fact that brand new means blowing past the $10,000 marker for most setups JUST FOR THE SERVER, not counting Windows and other equipment. Hard to recommend for a single/dual provider practice. But if you want the new stuff, I'll certainly oblige.
