You should use Load Balancing on the servers  so it will increase the efficiency  and protect your down time as a fail over.

This depends on what server you are planning. If it is a web server you are plannng, go for a quad core processor, with a 1TB raid 1 hard disk, so that you will get 500GB of usable space. If that is also meant to act as a file server, go for higher storage, SSD drives and hexa core/ octa core processor. Please keep in mind, the higher the traffic, the higher the bandwidth you may need. So look for nic supported speed before selecting the server. Hope this reply helped
