I have 2 quotes from the same guy, 1 with IBM x3650 servers and 1 with Dell
Poweredge servers. ÂThe Dell is cheaper. ÂBoth quotes are higher (a lot)
than you estimate because it includes more things than just this in the
project. ÂIt has what you have there plus virtualization, a 2nd server as
backup, a SAN for storage, all the software licensing, and all the labor.

Get x3650 M2, the x3650 is outdated and will be withdrawn in August or so.

About virtualization / SAN: In general, that's overkill for a 25
people shop. But it really depends on what your needs as a company
are, and what else you want on infrastructure, what kind of recovery
windows and uptime SLAs you want.

I'm not finding too many online reviews or posts that like Google Apps.
Other than a guy who wrote a book about it. Â:)

You can just use the standard edition. It has the same features, but
also ads. Add a 9$ domain from godaddy or some such and you can get
happy testing.
