Hmm lets see. FOUR servers each with a wad of wires, each with at least one (hopefully two) power supplies each needing backups, fixes (heaven KNOWS how often you must apply fixes/patches/updates/etc. to M$ software. Each needs a name and an IP or three and ports into the switch (usually two or more each) and of course rack space (sure it's 'just 1U' but it adds up). Each needing daily administration, watch for disk space and checking error logs some method of being backed up and tapes and drives etc. And I didn't see any redundant servers in the list. Oh Oh OH, you know each M$ machine needs a friend so soon it'll be 8 servers (double your pleasure) And each needs some way to tell you whether it's up or not and OH by the time you fail a drive (and you will) that drive won't be available any longer. So you'll look for all new ones and decide that replacing the entire server is cheaper but not compatible with the other three and so the cycle begins again.... Puleeeze! This is better how?

Why? Each being a 1U rackmount, it's not going to take much space.

Just had a meeting with some folks (including a person from Microsoft)
wanting us to take a look at the Microsoft CRM product...
Guess what ? To do this we will ONLY need 4 (FOUR) additional servers...
One for the CRM package, one for Active Directory, one for Exchange and
one for BizTalk...
