[QUOTE="rman, post: 160479, member: 23"] Having worked in a server environment for may years, I see that you have the classic problem, hardware verses software costs on a limited budget. You problem start with the databases you wish to access. Does the version of filemaker that you have allow you multi person access? If does not then you will need filemaker server edition. Being an IT person, I agree with your IT department. If your current server is working fine, there is no reason to change it. The problem here is your budget. Here is one way to get around your cost limit. I assume that each one of you can expense items up to a dollar limit. If that is the case, each one you can purchase various pieces to improve your environment. What I see is that the current server couls use more disk space and more memory. You could up this by using your espense accounts. Then you maybe able to get OS X server and filemaker server. [/QUOTE]
