Short videos don't go to cardon, buy money seconds, run office files... You think these are the credit for mobile phones and computers? It's not really the same as the server, the super brain。
Don't think the server's far from us, the cashier's system at the coffee shop on the street, and the cloud computing platform at ariyun。
Today, as a front-line machine operator in the chengdu region, medcret will show you the three main types of servers in the most common and comprehensible way, whether you're an entrepreneurial picker, an it upgrader, or simply curious, to become a server operator
I. What is a server
To be honest, the server is a supercomputer. It focuses only on processing and storing big data, and is a 24-hour “working maniac”。
Different types of servers, like workmen of different characteristics, are well-established, cost-effective, space-efficient and highly efficient. The right choice saves a lot of money and the wrong choice is either not enough or wasted budget。
Ii. Tower server: a reliable “neighbor brother”, first choice
It's the tower servers that you're most exposed to at work and in life, and you know the shape -- like a little tower that's standing up, but it's like an expanded version of a home-based desktop host, with a stronger and more stable configuration. Putting them in the corner of the office or in the house, like a silent giant, is practical。
Its advantages are particularly strong: first, it is extremely extended, hard disks, memory bars, graphic cards are added, and later upgrades are not sad; second, the heat is spread, the air is wide enough to flow smoothly, without fear of overheating machines; and the noise is not so big that it is fully acceptable in the office; and most importantly, the price of the entry machine is high, thousands of pieces can be taken off and the new hands can easily start。
Of course, the disadvantage is also obvious: too much space. It cannot be stacked like other servers, and if several are needed, it will soon fill the whole corner and will not be suitable for large-scale deployment。
Such servers are particularly suitable for three categories of people: small businesses, such as dozens of start-ups, street cafés, which are fully adequate for data storage, running a small website or cash collection; personal developers, who set up a testing environment at home, develop small games, and tower servers are good helpers; and family users, who want to build a private cinema with hundreds of high-resolution films, or get a game server and friends to hack it。
One example: if you start a small design company, you need to store the client's designs and run an internal file-sharing system. Mak must recommend that you buy a tower server, plug four hard drives, put the system in the corner of the office, quiet and stable. Even if future business expansion requires a retrofitting mission, with just one additional graphic card, the server remains as stable as an old dog and fits perfectly。
Iii. Panel servers: a well-calculated “white-collar career” company
If the tower server is a “one-size-fits-all player”, it is a “specialist in teamwork”. It looks like a flat dvd player, designed to fit into standard metal racks, and a dozen piled up like blocks, so that space is saved。
Its core advantages are space-saving and manageable. The width is uniform at 19 inches, measured at a height of “u” (1u≈4. 45 cm), different models such as 1u, 2u and 4u can be selected as needed, and the use of space is greatly enhanced by the fact that on the racks is a book on the shelf. Most of them have a single management interface, which can be maintained by remote operation。
However, it is also a bit “delicious”: it needs to be placed in a specialized room environment, equipped with a cabinet, a stable power source and a specialized heat-dissemination system, and maintenance requires professionals, and it can't be done with the racks, the wires, and so on; the fan turns with a small voice in the company, and the noise can't hold。
This involves the server hosting operations of medelbek, because many enterprises, because of cost constraints, cannot afford dozens or even millions of self-constructed buildings, or do not have suitable office space to take over the building of the rooms. At this point, medelbek would recommend that they host servers to large local data centres, which not only have specialized power supply, refrigeration and maintenance teams, but also have only a few thousand dollars a year, which is manageable。
For example, a local transborder power provider in chengdu in the previous period had initially purchased 10 2u mounted servers, rented a cabinet for server hosting, equipped with air conditioning and uninterruptible power supply and operated on a 24-hour basis at the grand data centre in yaanchon, as planned by madge. The number of orders was later doubled, two servers were added directly to the empty cabinet, the extension was free of pressure and the cost of hosting was nearly one third lower than the data centre in the city。
Iv. Blade-lined servers: the cold, hegemonic president, the giant exclusive
Who is the "nobility" on the server? The blade server is definitely a decent piece。
The thin airframe is like a sharp blade that must be inserted in a dedicated “cleaver case”. A machine box can fit more than a dozen or dozens of blades, dense as a hive, and the space utilization rate is stretched directly。
Its advantages are extraordinary: it is too dense to provide a single box with super-computing computing power, especially for the processing of big data; it is simple to manage, it has a unified power supply and management module, and it does not need to maintain each unit alone; it is low in energy consumption per unit, it is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, and it saves much for long-term use by large enterprises。
But its threshold is also extremely high: it is expensive, with a blade box plus several blades, which may be more expensive than a car; it is not expansionary, and hardware upgrades often require a direct change of blades, which is not readily available as a tower-based server; it is environmentally demanding and requires a top-class room and a specialized heat-dissemination system, and ordinary businesses are not able to play。
Data centres such as the ali baba, the internet giants, for example, use a large number of blade-sized servers. A box with 16 blades is dedicated to running the ai training model and processing hundreds of millions of data per day. The machine room is equipped with a specialized cold water circulation system, which allows these “nobility” to work quietly and efficiently. The surge in operations resulted in the direct addition of a new box full of blades and a doubling of computing power。
V. Server selection guide: non-priced, only right
After reading the introduction to the three servers, a lot of people might get confused: what is the choice? The core principle is actually one — matching business needs。
In the case of small-scale operations or it, such as start-up companies, personal workspaces, tower-style servers are right, prices are pro-people, deployment is simple and meets basic needs; in the case of mature businesses or expansion periods, multiple servers need to be centrally managed, with stand-by servers being the backbone of performance and management efficiency; and in the case of super-large operations, cloud computing platforms or financial core systems, blade servers are the first option, with significant initial input, but the efficiency and cost advantages of long-term use are clear。
Finally, it should be stressed that any server must operate in a suitable environment, otherwise the loss of data is not a loss in case of overheating and power cuts。
