How much do you know about Web server hardware configuration?

A few days ago, fish wrote a blog entitled "how do you configure a web server if you have a web server?", which describes the Web server system and software configuration, let's make a simple analysis on the Web server hardware configuration today. This blog will describe some classic web server configurations:

A Web Server is a performance-oriented server. Its requirements on the server hardware platform are executed based on the Access frequency and the service complexity supported by the Web server, that is, the CGIProgramThe amount of system resources consumed. In addition, the resource consumption and performance of different versions of the same web server provided by different software vendors are also different. As mentioned in the previous blog, the mainstream web server software in server software configuration is Apache and Microsoft's IIS. IIS is mainly located in a small Intranet environment, it runs on the Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 server platform, while Apache has multiple platform versions: Windows, Linux, and UNIX. In terms of performance, Apache + PHP is slightly better than Windows NT + IIS to run ASP, while Apache is slightly more dominant. The existing version can process more than 10000 operations (one request is one operation) within one second on a high-performance host ). Therefore, enterprises select the appropriate software platform and hardware based on application development requirements.

At present, computer development is very fast, and mainstream Xeon multi-core technologies can meet the needs of 0.1 million of users. At the same time, external web and DNS have low requirements, so they can be used as external web and DNS servers at the same time.

Main features of this type of server:
Running software: IIS, Apache
Technical requirements: 1u/2u chassis, Sata/SCSI or SAS hard drive

1. Enterprise Web servers: these servers are mainly used to introduce enterprises. The data volume is not high, and the concurrent access to static webpages or pages is usually less than 200 times per second.

Recommended server -- Golden KU131-D2 Server
Hardware configuration ---- core e6300 * 1/DDR2 ECC 1 GB memory 2/160g SATA hard drive two RAID 1 fault tolerance/dual Gigabit NIC/1u rack mounting/250 W ~ W power supply.

2. Large and medium-sized portal web servers

This type of server is mainly used for portal website services. The portal website has a large amount of traffic, and usually generates dynamic webpages or with a traffic of 500 times/s and below:
Recommended server --- golden KU181-T2 Server
Hardware configuration ---- Xeon 5405*1/2 1g fbd667 memory/250g SATA hard drive * 2 RAID 1 level fault tolerance/dual Gigabit NIC/1u rack mounting/W server Power Supply
More than 1000 accesses/s:
Recommended server --- golden KU183-T2, golden KU283-T2
Hardware configuration ---- gold products KU183-T2: xeon 5335 or xeon5410 * 2/2g fbd memory * 4/146g SAS 15000 rpm hard drive * 2 RAID 1 level fault tolerance/dual Gigabit NIC/1u rack-mounted W server Power Supply
Golden KU283-T2: Xeon 5335 or xeon5410 * 2/2g fbd memory * 4/146g SAS 15000 rpm hard drive * 3 RAID 5 level fault tolerance/dual Gigabit NIC/2u rack mounted 480w server Power Supply

3. Online Game Web Servers

Running software: Legend, miracle, A3, etc.
Technical requirements: 1u or tower chassis, multi-processor, large memory
Recommended Configuration:
Keep less than 500 concurrent online
Recommended server -- Golden KU131-D2 Server
Hardware configuration ---- core e6300 * 1/DDR2 ECC 1 GB memory 2/160g SATA hard drive two RAID 1 fault tolerance/dual Gigabit NIC/1u rack mounting/250 W ~ W power supply.
Keep less than 1000 people online simultaneously:
Recommended server-Golden KU183-T2 Server
Hardware configuration-Xeon 5335 or xeon5410 * 2/2g fbd memory * 2/146g SAS 15000 to hard drive * 2 RAID 1 level fault tolerance/dual Gigabit NIC/1u rack mounting W server Power Supply
Maintain more: four-way server or multiple Server clusters.

4. Online Video and movie servers

Running software: Helix Server, Windows Media Services, and VOD software
Technical requirements: fast access, large storage capacity, RAID 5

Low-end Configuration
Recommended server-Golden KU281-T2 Server
Hardware configuration-Xeon 5335 or xeon5410 * 2/1g FBD memory * 2/750g SATA hard drive * 6 RAID 5-level fault tolerance/dual Gigabit NIC/2u rack-mounted W server Power Supply

High-end Configuration

Recommended server-Golden KU283-T2 Server
Hardware configuration-Xeon 5335 or xeon5410 * 2/1g FBD memory * 2/400g SAS hard drive * 6 RAID 5-level fault tolerance/dual Gigabit NIC/2u rack-mounted W server Power Supply

Well, let's talk about the web server hardware configuration. Our webmaster has no capital to buy servers and has a good understanding :)
