Here is a brief explanation of the need of a good server:
System Board
Also known as a motherboard, it is the main circuit board in the computer. After all, this is what all the other components of the server connect to.
On the system, the board is the processor (also called the CPU), the memory with its expansion slots, the support circuit (also known as the chipset), and the hard disk controller, in addition to the input and output ports for peripherals such as a mouse, keyboard, etc. Keep in mind that some system boards include additional built-in features. This is the case for graphics adapters, SCSI disk controllers, and network interfaces.
Processor
This is the brain of the server. Therefore, the number of processors and their speed directly affect the server’s ability to support applications. It’s worth noting that processors are constantly changing. That is, it can be difficult to determine which is the best fit for each application. Therefore, the IT professional should consider three main characteristics when selecting a processor.
Clock Speed
It consists of the speed at which the processor operates. It is measured in gigahertz (GHz), and the faster, the better. That is, faster servers generate better performance. In practice, this is reflected in the ability to support more concurrent Outlook accounts or manage more web requests during peak periods, for example. Therefore, investing in a processor more often improves system performance and ensures the management of future demands.
Core Count
It consists of the number of physical processors on the processor itself. Today most server CPUs have two to four cores. Multi-core improves the performance of tasks on servers running multiple applications. Virus scanning can be performed on one core, while data backup is performed on another independent core.
Cache Size
Processors have built-in high-speed memory. This is located in the central processing unit (CPU). Therefore, a larger cache decreases the frequency required by the CPU to retrieve data from system memory that is outside the CPU. This generally improves the responsiveness of the system and provides a better user experience. That is, CPUs with higher core counts and higher frequencies have larger caches. And that provides better performance.
Memory
This acts as the place where the server which uses hardware like Dell PowerEdge R840 temporarily controls newly opened files. These specialized high-speed chips are called RAM. It is designed to allow quick access and remind the user where the file resides on the permanent hard drive system. The more RAM, the more operations the server will manage simultaneously without the need to access hard disks. After all, they are considerably slower than RAM.
Hard Disk Systems
Hard disks provide the server with a vast library of all accessible files. Therefore, the size and type of hard drive systems can vary depending on the amount of data the business needs to store.
Internal Storage
Servers are typically configured with a large hard drive, similar to the desktop. However, server hard drives were specifically designed for fast access times. This is in addition to the ability to add multiple hard drives internally. Eventually, the user will be able to add more hard drives and attach external hard drive systems.
