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?

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.
