What are the common server types
We are now in the era of big data, and now we can't live without the network. In order to support these services, our services can't live without the server. The server can be regarded as a high-performance computer. The server is comprehensive, and all the applications we need run in the server. What are the common server types we often use:
Tower server:
Tower server is the most common kind of server. Its style is similar to that of an ordinary PC host. It has very good scalability, does not need additional equipment, and has little requirements for the external computer room environment. However, due to its shape and large occupied area, if too many servers are required to work at the same time, the enterprise website does not need to consider this server.
Web server:
Web server mainly refers to the server that stores various websites on the Internet. It is mainly used for publishing and Application on the Internet of enterprise or personal websites. Now it can be said that it is the basic hardware server that uses various applications and information. The web server can respond to connection requests from a large number of IP users.
File server:
File server is a server whose main function is to save and share file data in computer network. It is responsible for data file management and central storage. Authenticated users in the same network environment can access shared files at any time. The file server has all the functions of file management in the time sharing system, strengthens the data storage function, improves the possibility of data utilization and reduces the complexity of management.
Blade server:
Blade server is one of the most space-saving server. As the name suggests, each blade is similar to an independent server, so the heat dissipation performance needs more attention than rack server. Large fans are often required to be installed for heat dissipation. This kind of server is more suitable for large station building enterprises, because this kind of blade server is in the cluster mode, It can be used at the same time to provide a high-speed network environment and improve the user experience.
FTP Server:
FTP server is a server that provides access services and file storage on the Internet. It provides services according to FTP protocol. In short, it is a special server for transferring files. There are few enterprises that develop FTP server alone. Generally speaking, FTP protocol is supported in file server and web server to provide services.
Each server has its own advantages and disadvantages. Customers should choose different servers according to their own needs, which will not waste resources and affect the system operation . At the same time, heat dissipation also needs special attention. The service life and performance of servers are often related to server cooling. Therefore, a good cooling system plays a very key role in the server.
