A single-socket Xeon with ECC memory in a quiet tower chassis covers the classic small-business workloads — Active Directory, file and print, accounting or line-of-business databases, backup targets — without the cost and infrastructure of rack hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe E3-1240 v5 is a capable processor for this class. Four cores and eight threads at 3.5 GHz handle a domain controller plus a couple of light application VMs comfortably. Where it runs out of headroom is heavy virtualisation: with a single socket and a 64 GB memory ceiling on this platform, a dozen busy VMs is beyond what it is designed for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three SSDs are the part worth planning around. Configured as RAID 5 they give redundancy with usable capacity around 960 GB; as RAID 1 plus a spare, better resilience with less space. Either way the move from spinning disks to SSD is the single largest performance difference an older small-business server can gain, particularly on database and file-server workloads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#0060a9;font-size:17px;margin:26px 0 10px;padding-bottom:6px;border-bottom:1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eTechnical
