I'm a museum collection/technology manager for a small museum about to purchase third-party collection management software (CMS) and a new physical server. I need them to work together. I also need to run a version of SBS for our other museum operations. The CMS is an x32 SQL front-end that is not currently supported past SQL 2005, nor will support be expanded to the 2008 products in the foreseeable future. The CMS techs don’t want the SQL running through Windows on Windows (WOW) x64 support, so that rules out SBS 2003 R2 Premium that includes SQL 2005 Workgroup Edition since it would run through WOW. I don’t want to go back to pure x32 products and buy an x32 server to make this work. I want an x64 server. Question: Can these three servers run on the same physical server: Buying 2008 products and downgrading to get to what will work with the CMS, can I run successfully x64 SBS 2003 R2 Standard, plus (plain) x64 Server 2003, plus x64 SQL Server 2005 NOT Workgroup Edition on one physical x64 server? Or will I have to buy two physical servers, one to run a SBS, and the other for the Server 2003/ SQL Server 2005 combo?
