Angela,
The key factors going into this decision are:
1. How many biblios do you have? 2. How many circulation transactions do you do?
This will help define how powerful a machine you need.
Another consideration for you, is what environment will the machine be operating in. For example will it be in an air conditioned server room or on a dusty floor somewhere. How reliable is power etc. Chris

Hello Koha List from Samoa
It appears some funding has been made available to allow the purchase of a new library server. I just wanted to ask the experts for your advice on what specs to look out for and what to avoid please? Is there a particular machine we should be purchasing? I need to provide this to our IT department asap.
Thanks for your help
Angela
