Help Sizing a Server for a Small Office

RebekaM1 — Mon, 04 Jan 2021 17:55:17 GMT

I've recently been tasked with deploying a server in a small office. I know what services I want to deliver, but I have no idea how to size the system.

Here is a general overview of the situation:

There are currently 15 users. I can see this number expanding to 30 users within a couple of years.
I've pretty much settled on Windows Server Essentials as the OS.
I want to run the typical gamut of services (e.g. Active Directory, File Sharing, Printer Sharing, WSUS, Firewall, DNS, Application Deployment, Client Backups, RDP for administration etc.). No e-mail server. No web server.

So what kind of a system would you guys recommend (i.e. CPU, RAM, HDD, etc.)? Links to specific systems online would be helpful too.

Thanks in advance!!!
