This is my first post here I hope it goes well.
Ok,
I have an old G3 tower with 512 ram and a small 6 gig harddisk
It is running OSX server on a small network – 7 Mac OSX workstations, 3 of which use an airport
I inherited this network about 2 months ago when I started my new job. This is my first MAC server experience but I have found it similar to other networks I have worked on.
Anyway I am experience random corrupted Apple Works files which are linked via a calendar app. The files all reside on the server which is running DRIVE 10 and VIREX …everything seems ok diagnostically.
I am trying to simulate various client scenarios to observer the problem..but I have found no pattern. So I want to ask …. IS MY SERVER OVERTASKED and UNDER POWERED – I say yes..my boss says no..so read below and then tell me what you think please:
My server is-
serving appleworks files for 7 clients- about 250 of them accessed throughout the week in various orders
hosting the local intranet
hosting a VPN to our other office
it has QT streming enabled because we have 3 movies which we sometimes show via the intranet
Bandwidth
100Mbs per second fiber coming in. 4 port Corega Router (I am in Japan so u may not know the model it is like a small DLink or Lynksis). 3 hubs to allow The airport and 2 other computers to connect.
Misc
Maybe during the day one computer is streaming ITUNES audio in the lobby at 128k .
Sorry for the length
