The server is a device that provides computing services. Since the server needs to respond to the service request and process it, the server generally has the ability to assume the service and to guarantee the service.
The configuration of the server includes a processor, a hard disk, a memory, a system bus, a heatsink, and so on. The server architecture is similar to the common computer, but needs to provide highly reliable services. The server is therefore required to have higher processing power, stability, reliability, security, extendibility, manageability, and so on.
Servers can be divided into entry-level servers, working group-level servers, departmental-level servers and enterprise-level servers by application level.
This kind of server is the most basic class of servers, and also the lowest-level server. With the increasing PC technology, many entry-level servers are about the same configuration as PCs, so some people think the entry-level server is equivalent to the "PC server".
This kind of server mainly adopts Windows or NetWare network operating system, which can fully meet the needs of file sharing, data processing, internet access and simple database applications of small and medium-sized network users.
The working group-level server is a higher level than the entry-level server, but still belongs to the low-level server. It can also be seen from this name that it can only connect users of one working group (about 50), and the network size is small. Its stability is not as high as that of enterprise servers, and of course, other performance requirements of it are correspondingly lower.
Compared with the entry-level server, the performance of the working group-level server is improved, the function is enhanced, and it has a certain degree of expansibility. So it's also a lot more expensive than an entry-level server, generally equivalent to the total price of two or three high-performance PCs.
This kind of server belongs to the middle level server. The biggest characteristic of departmental-level server is that, in addition to all the characteristics of working group-level server, it is integrated with a large number of monitoring and management circuits. Departmental-level servers have comprehensive capabilities of management.
Departmental-level servers can be connected with about 100 computer users. Its hardware configuration is relatively high, its reliability is higher than the working group-level server, of course, its price is also higher. Because this kind of server needs to install more parts, the crate is usually large, using cabinet crate.
Enterprise-level server is high-level server, because of this, the enterprises that can produce this kind of server are not many. Enterprise servers are suitable for large enterprises that need to process a large amount of data, high processing speed and high requirements of reliability.
Enterprise servers are used for large networks with hundreds of connected computers and high processing speed and high requirements of data security. The higher hardware configuration of the enterprise-level server is, the stronger system reliability.
Users should choose the right server according to their own needs, blindly pursuing high performance will waste server performance and increase costs.
The heat dissipation of server should be paid more attention, heatpipe heatsink, 3D vapor chamber heatsink, and liquid cooling solution can be used for heat dissipation of server.
