We are looking at migrating to Vision and what Deltek recommends is just insane for server needs (and we about your size). They are saying we need to have a dual quad-core server for the SQL server (in fact they recommend getting a quad processor capable unit) and the same for the reporting tier. Thanks in advance. --ken Scott,

This company is currently running Vision 5.0 and wants to implement 5.1. Do you know anyone that may be interested in a fulltime position in the Marina dle Rey area?? Hi Scott-

A complete backup, compressed with zip, takes up about 2 GB. Right now we are not using the custom proposals module much, nor the relationship management piece, so those parts of the data are still tiny.

The company i work for has about 50 employees so i'll probably go with a single Tyan TA-26 (with Adaptec 3805), splitting System, WEB & SQL on different RAID arrays. I'll probably put 8 Gigs of RAM and a quad core Opteron. I have one question for you: How much space your SQL server use in your context? Thanks! Hi Scott,
