If the Standard PC is used as a server, it can not cope with the load and the leadership of ranting and raving, productivity falls, decreasing the rate of customer service, IT professionals expressed the need to purchase a new server, the company bears the loss for failover – perhaps everything sooner or later face the same problem. So, we had the choice – to buy a server or a regular computer, but are more powerful.
This arises the question: “Why buy dedicated servers costing over 100 thousand, when you can get a powerful system unit for 30 thousand?”
Most likely, such savings will come sideways. Server hardware is expensive, not just – it provided greater stability, reliability, and performance. Consider these points in more detail in comparison: the server – a normal PC.
Feeding:
The server is designed to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For this purpose it is equipped with redundant power supply (ideally connected to the other phase, and even better with two different UPS units for each power supply) – thus, the load is distributed evenly on two power supplies, and that is not unimportant, the server is much more chance “to survive” in the case of power failure and / or death of one of the uninterruptible power supply units. Power supply power – 750 watts, which enables power supplies with confidence to withstand the load of internal components.
Conventional system blocks have only one power supply, power is usually does not exceed more than 500 watts. Thus, on an ordinary PC, we can observe periodic malfunctioning of some units due to lack of banal voltage.
Cooling:
We all know that electronics do not like the heat – from overheating, the computer reboots, freezes, and behave poorly.
Lowering the temperature inside the computer, around the electronic components is achieved by air circulation. Therefore corps servers does not only have fans on the CPU and power supply, but also, additional housing fans and individual fans for hard disk drives.
In a typical system block, fans are absent in half the cases, and the fans for hard disk drives exist only in those cases, if they are specifically established by an experienced system administrator. Also worth to note that installing additional fans is an additional burden if it already does not have a very powerful power supply. As a result, saving your computer from overheating, we are taking it to death from lack of voltage on the power supply.
