I always recommend 10,000 revolutions per minute hard drives for server performance. Hard drive capacity of 1 TB at a minimum, and it should never exceed 50 percent of capacity. The computer should have a 2.5 GHz processor at a minimum.
Best Practice would call for 12 Gigs of RAM minimum for five users, 20 Gigs of RAM for 10 users, 32 Gigs of RAM for 15 users, 48 Gigs of RAM for 20 users and 64 Gigs of RAM (or more) for 30 users. The minimum requirements, according to Intuit specifications), for QuickBooks 2017 in this configuration are 8 Gigs of RAM for a network supporting up to 5 users, 12 Gigs of RAM for 10 users, 16 Gigs of RAM for 15 users, and 20 Gigs of RAM for 20 users. unless the full application has been installed on the dedicated "hosting" server. These file functions should never be performed "across a network." As such, it's necessary to copy the Company file to a workstation to perform these functions. This permits essential file functions like back-up, verify and rebuild to be performed directly on the server. Best Practice is to install the full QuickBooks Application and Hosting on a dedicated server. While many IT professionals frown on the actual QuickBooks application being installed on the server, and prefer that only the QuickBooks Database Server and its companion QBDBS Manager-utility be installed, that practice does not fit our recommended "best practices." Windows Server – Typically, a domain or file server in larger networks upon which either the QuickBooks Application and/or just the QuickBooks Database Server has been installed. Most installations running QuickBooks do so on a Windows-server based network. 
Client-Server (Dedicated Server) Networks Here, I'll examine the most common form of networking – the Client-Server. In this part of the series, I examined Single-user and peer-to-peer network installations. Each year, I receive hundreds of inquiries about networking issues related to QuickBooks. In this three-part series, we're examining the best practices and minimum requirements for configuring QuickBooks 2017 Desktop products (Pro, Premier and Enterprise).
