Tower server

Introduction

Tower server is generally the most seen, its shape and structure are similar to the ordinary PC, just a slightly larger, and there is no uniform standard. . Because the chassis of the tower server is relatively large, the configuration of the server can be high, and the redundancy extension is more free, so its application range is very wide, and it should be said that the most current usage is a tower server. We usually say that the general server is generally a tower server, which can set a variety of common services to be applied, whether it is speed application or storage applications, can be used to solve it.

Use the object or use level, currently the common entry-level and workgroup-level servers are basically used by this server structure, and some departmental applications are also adopted, but because only one host Even if there is a limited number of upgraded expansions, the stand-alone server cannot meet the requirements in some enterprises with high application requirements, and the multi-machine coordination work is needed, and the tower server is too large, the independence is too strong, and works together It is inconvenient to space occupancy and system management, which is also the limitations of tower servers. However, in general, the functionality of such servers can basically meet most of the requirements of most enterprise users, and their cost is usually relatively low, so such servers still have very broad application support.

The motherboard extensibility of the tower server is strong, and there are many slots, and there is often a lot of space inside the chassis of the tower server to perform redundant expansion of hard drives, power supplies. This server does not require additional equipment, there is not much requirements for placement space, and has good scalability, and the configuration can be high, so the application range is very broad, which can meet the general common server application requirements.

This type of server is especially suitable for common entry-level and working group-level server applications, and the cost is relatively low, and performance can meet most of the small and medium-sized enterprise users. The market demand is still very large.

But this type of server has many limitations. When multiple servers are needed to meet the higher server application requirements, they are not convenient to manage due to larger server application requirements. It is very uncomfortable.

Tower server and cabinet

1. Principle of the upper tower server does not need to be used with the cabinet, but if some reason can be placed in the cabinet custody. However, there will be some problems, such as: Tower server often causes large cabinet space, unavoidable, inconvenient in position, etc. Still weigh the pros and cons of the specific environment to make a decision.

2. Whether to connect the display, the arrangement of the cabinet space, the number of servers, the frequent server direct operation, the monitoring requirements, and the requirements of the cabinet management, etc. are determined. Generally, direct operation is not recommended as a server, so long-term direct connection displays are also an unsafe factor.
