Basic knowledge: five factors for server Leasing

When enterprises build websites or conduct e-commerce, they do not need high-end or expensive servers, nor need to rent a large bandwidth in IDCs. You can decide your server brand and configuration standards based on your actual application requirements:

1. When selecting a server, the customer should first consider hosting the required application service, and then determine the hardware and software configurations required for the service.

In the past, when enterprises were preparing to host, they always wanted to buy a high-end server first, and then wanted to lease a large amount of bandwidth to host their own servers, instead of selecting servers and IDC service providers based on actual needs, this method wastes resources and increases user capital investment.

When enterprises build websites or conduct e-commerce, they do not need high-end or expensive servers, nor need to rent a large bandwidth in IDCs. You can decide to purchase your own server brand and configuration standards based on your actual application needs. If you do a free email service, the storage must be larger, you can use multiple hard disks, disk arrays, or even network storage devices. If you have a database query service, the memory must be larger. If your website has a large traffic volume, server Load balancer technology is required. If the data volume is large, the data backup and accident data recovery technologies must be strong. In general, enterprises must choose the brand and server configuration based on their application needs when selecting servers. There is no need to choose the best and most expensive one. It is the best choice to satisfy their own needs.

2. High configuration is not equal to high performance. Stability and scalability are the most important.

Each component of the server is an organic whole, which is connected to each other and affects each other. When selecting a server, you must take into account the compatibility of each part to achieve the best performance of the configuration. The most important indicator of the server is stability, especially for servers running in IDCs. It must be 24 × 7 × 365 working hours, so it requires a high level of server stability, they must be able to work stably, securely, and normally. After the customer hosts the server, as the customer's access traffic and service changes, the server needs to constantly increase or decrease the relevant software and hardware to continuously improve the service level and capability, therefore, servers must be highly scalable to provide scalable space for customers.

3. General-purpose servers are evolving towards dedicated servers, making them easy to use and specific.

With the development of the Internet, customers' requirements for servers are constantly increasing and changing. Therefore, the current general-purpose servers will gradually change to professional servers. Take email as an example, in the past, the email service only needed to install an email software on any service to provide the email service, regardless of its stable performance or its ability to process emails, you only need to use it. However, the fact is far less simple than imagined. The email service is different from the Web service, and the stability and server response speed are very important. Therefore, dedicated servers are required to provide services. In the future, the development trend of Enterprise Post Office servers should be ease of use and specialization. Server Selection and configuration should be relatively simple and there is no need for a high technical threshold, in addition, the development trend of specialization will be very obvious. What kind of service will have what kind of features, and different features will need different products to meet their requirements.

4. hardware, software, and network resource sharing are development trends

An important feature of IDC users is resource sharing. This feature cannot be reflected in the current IDC users. Different customers consider their own data and information security, it is impossible to share hardware and software resources with other customers. However, in the future development trend, different customers may share various types of resources such as network storage, value-added services, and application services provided by IDCs. Some devices in the server can be shared to optimize resources and reduce costs, improving resource utilization.

5. Strong software and hardware complementarity, comprehensive consideration of selection of standards

Customers should consider both software and hardware when selecting servers. If you want to run a large number of applications, you need a large amount of memory. If you need to load a large amount of traffic, you need to consider a large amount of memory. Only when the combination of hardware and software is good can the good performance of the server be realized. The high performance and stability of the final service cannot be guaranteed without the cooperation of software. Therefore, when selecting a server, you should consider both aspects and use a comprehensive indicator to select a server.
