ICTDirect_Dave Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 We've been doing a lot of HP DL380 G7 servers as SIMS machines recently. 12 cores, 36GB RAM, 4 x 600GB SAS and all for less than £800 They should be core than capable of doing what you need

ICTDirect_Dave Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 If only that included 12x core licenses for SQL Server standard haha! Sorry! Would love to do that, but i'm sure somebody would shout at me!

Seriously though worth checking out AMD processors as they do get a reduction on core licensing, so you only need 9 core licenses for 12 AMD Cores (well 10 because you can only buy in packs of 2). We all know Intel are better, but are 9x Intel cores better then 12x AMD cores?
