That was more about something that scaled up.  For 15 people I'd
probably run SME server in a VMware guest on a machine doing something
else.   And handle the high availablity by having the host use RAID1 on
swappable disks that could be moved to a spare chassis.

Pfsense supports CARP which can be used for failover.
FreeNAS/Openfiler(CentOS) can be used for file sharing and it supports RAID also.
and you can use KVM on CentOS to run all of them(VMs) including a VM which can use Zimbra or any other groupware software you want.
