We are going to be migrating from PDM WorkGroup to EPDM in the next several months.  We are working with our reseller on this.  IT here has put together a spec for the server they intend to run EPDM on.  They want to put the archive server and databse on the same new server.  WorkGroup will be left on the old server.  Being a nubie to EPDM, I thought I would post the spec that IT came up with for the server and see if anyone can comment.  Our current WorkGroup vault size is 114GB.  Would there be anything that would need to change?  Thanks for your time.
