Buying a new Server

Hello All,

Our company is going to be buying a new server, and I am looking for some recommendations.

I want something pretty well set-up, such as already having and operating system and Hard drives installed.

Here are some things I am looking for:

Enough Processing Power for hosting our own Exchange Server.
About 4 TB of storage, with a popular RAID scheme, so we can easily rebuild the array, if a fault should occur.
Dual-NIC's so that way we can utilize bonding (Link Aggregation)

I'm pretty tech-savvy, but in this case, I have never been in charge of buying a server, and configuring one as well.

I'm interested in hearing any tips or tricks you have with networking/servers as well.

Thanks, Jon
 
A server doesn't come pre-made like computers with Operating Systems like Windows 8 (at least, not to my knowledge), you have to buy the software and install it to a computer you currently have or that you want to buy. I myself haven't worked much with servers but I do know that. I have worked a bit with Windows Server 2008 R2 and it is pretty good. Although my experience was working on using Windows Deployment Services in school as a end of the term project.
