The last thing to discuss is cost. I get it. IT can be expensive. Unlike many of my fellow IT colleagues, I understand that doctors aren't great big piggy banks ready to be cracked open to let the cash just flow. I do my level best to keep costs down for my installations. I charge a reasonable hourly rate ($85/hour) and I keep my hands on excellent quality used servers that came out of a datacenter that can be purchased at pennies on the dollar for what they were brand new. And I personally put a 2 year replacement warranty on any used server I sell. My typical set up is a single physical server with two virtual machines: a domain controller and an Applications server for everything else.

Hi everyone,
I have had a bunch of stuff going on, I know I have been MIA from this forum for a while, part of that has been because....well....AC and our server and network have been running really really well. James speaks the truth in his last post, he provided a superb setup for our office at about 1/2 the price a local IT firm quoted, and it is FAST and flawless.
I would recommend his expertise and dedication to anyone needing help or a new installation.
