Not sure what to say about infrastructure. It would be connected to a Cisco 3750 switch serving clients. Files only, no programs.
How many users/clients?
How much data per user/in total?
What type of access will they need for the data?
Windows/Linux/other?
Security requirements for the data?
Why Dell? (just curious about this)

All of these questions (and more) must be answered before you can begin to get a feel for what you need to consider.
