    I "think" this is the correct spot for this topic. If not please forgive me. Thank you:)

    I am doing a business report for my business class the HP ProLiant DL785 G5 Server fully loaded*. My assignment is to find out information about the server. Such as how a person could set this server up as a video server? Also the cost operate the server such as utility bills, maintenance(if I don't know how to do it yourself), security(virus), type and cost internet connection and etc? Also do a person have to have a back up of what is stored on the servers, if so, how would a person do that and the cost? What other equipment would a person need to make this server work?

    *Fully Loaded means: 512 GB Max. Memory, 8TB Hard Drive, 8 Quad Core Processors, handles about 3,000 users.

    How does bandwidth fit into all of this also? I found out that a person viewing a 2 hour video would transfer approx. 1.8 GB of data. And an HD video average encoding bit-rate is approx. 3200kbps meaning one user would transfer 3GB of data.
