New server q's

Those last 2 posts are spot on Scott.

If I were to deploy a solution that was different to what everyone else was deploying, even if it was cheaper, better, faster, more resilient etc, I'd be lambasted by others simply because it was different and more likely, not understood.

That can lead to unhappy management, which can then lead to all sorts of grief for me.

This is obviously, not what I want.

Thanks for all the info & advice, it is greatly appreciated.

It's a sad situation that IT is so easy to cover up and not take seriously that it isn't just allowed, but mandated. But this is the world that we live in. IT tends to be a point where we are constantly exposing varying degrees of ineptitude, corruption, money laundering, fraud, etc. What's so awful is that it turns out to be absolutely everywhere, and literally no one cares.

So you should buy the same old server model from 2016 to stay consistent with what they currently know

Unfortunately yes.

It comes under the job preservation title. I live in area where IT work is extremely hard to secure due to there not being much of it, so rocking the boat is not a good move.
