I want to buy a server to accommodate both the Primevera and Sage applications? Would a HP Proliant 350e Gen8 do? Are there any concerns about this platform?

1Shouldn't be saying this but they're getting rid of the DL380e model in the Gen9 range and moving it down to being a 1xx series box - they've not sold well (the DL380p remains the best selling server of all makes/models). – Chopper3 Jul 15 '14 at 09:22

Yes and no...
The server is capable of running the applications and Windows Server 2008/2012 from a CPU and RAM perspective. However, there is a fairly large limitation in the storage array controller for that particular server line. HP ProLiant servers are available in "e" (essential) and "p" (performance) variants. If you can afford the initial cost, the "p" models are always a better choice.
The storage problems with the "essential" models require better RAID controllers and additional cache in order to function at a reasonable level. At that point, it makes sense to buy the better server.
