The standard number of processors refers to the number of processors (CPUs) that the server randomly selects from the factory. Generally speaking, servers are shipped with at least one CPU, and some have two, four, or even more. . Of course, the more standard configuration CPUs, the higher the price will definitely be.
Entry-level servers usually use only one or two CPUs, mainly for users of network operating systems such as Windows NT, NetWare, etc. They can meet the file sharing, printing services, data processing, and Internet access of office-type small and medium-sized network users. The needs of simple database applications, can also be completed in a small area such as E-mail, Proxy, DNS and other services.
Workgroup-level servers generally support one to two Xeon processors or a single P4 (Pentium 4) processor, and can support large-capacity ECC (memory technology, used for server memory) memory, providing full-featured functionality. It is highly manageable and easy to maintain. It is suitable for providing services such as Web and Mail for small and medium-sized businesses. It can also be used for digital campus networks and multimedia classrooms in schools and other education departments. Under normal circumstances, if the application is not complicated, for example, there is no large-scale database to be managed, adopting a workgroup server can meet the requirements.
Department-level servers typically support two to four PIII Xeon processors with high reliability, availability, scalability, and manageability. Department-level servers are the necessary links for smooth connectivity between the various grassroots data collection units and the highest-level data centers in the enterprise network. Suitable for medium-sized enterprises (such as finance, post and telecommunications, etc.) as data centers, Web sites and other applications.
Enterprise servers are high-end servers that generally support 4 to 8 PIII Xeon (Xeon) or P4 Xeon (Xeon) processors, have independent dual PCI channel and memory expansion board design, high memory bandwidth, large capacity Hot-plug hard drives and hot-swappable power supplies provide superior data processing capabilities. Enterprise servers are mainly suitable for large enterprises and important industries (such as finance, securities, transportation, post and telecommunications, communications, etc.) that require large amounts of data, high processing speed, and high reliability requirements. They can be used to provide ERP (Enterprise Resource Configuration). ), e-commerce, OA (office automation) and other services.
