Thank you for your quick respond. Am new to this company and basically starting from scratch . They have about 500 users, 200 concurrent, and growing to 1000 in the next 2 years. I proposed 2 mid range r750 servers as i've done in the past and intend to scale from there with SAN etc once budget for the next batch approved. With the latest version Windows 2023 (havent touched on this yet) , would it have reached a stable OS and robust compared to the others? Like XP ? lol
