Первый вопрос — не «какой процессор», а «что сервер будет делать через три года». Составьте список: 1С и СУБД, файлы, почта, видеонаблюдение, виртуальные машины. Для каждой задачи есть свой критичный ресурс: у 1С это частота ядер и диски, у видеонаблюдения — ёмкость корзины, у виртуализации — память. Универсальный сервер «на всё» получается, когда эти требования складывают, а не усредняют.
If you have a server rack or are planning a data center, get a 1U/2U rackmount server. For an office without a server room, get a tower server: it is as quiet as a standard PC and does not require a cabinet. A common mistake for small businesses is buying a loud 1U server for an office: it is impossible to work next to it. Detailed comparison is available in our article 'Rackmount vs. Tower Server'.
For 15–30 employees, a single Xeon E or Silver is sufficient: dual-processor platforms are needed for virtualization and heavy DBMS. Buy memory with extra slots rather than maxing out the capacity immediately: adding a module in a year is cheaper than overpaying today. ECC memory is mandatory — it protects your accounting database from silent data corruption.
2026 practical rule: system and databases on NVMe, files on SATA SSD or HDD, archives and backups on high-capacity HDDs. RAID is not a backup, but protection against downtime: backups are still required on separate media. If the budget is limited, save on anything except the drives for the 1C database.
A new server comes with a 3-year warranty and the latest generation hardware. Refurbished Dell/HPE units from previous generations cost 40–60% less while handling small business tasks just as well — a smart choice for file storage, test environments, and secondary cluster nodes. Avoid 'gray' used equipment without a warranty: the savings vanish at the first sign of failure.
Benchmarks for July 2026: tower server for an office — from 500,000–900,000 ₸; rack server for 1C (50 users) — 1.5–2.5 million ₸; virtualization host with 256 GB RAM — 2.5–4 million ₸.
