It is designed to be energy and space efficient and allows a business to scale its compute requirements as it grows, simply by adding another server blade into the blade chassis.
Deploying edge computing servers remotely across the globe, opens up many new applications and markets for businesses globally. Below are some edge computing servers ideas and use cases.
A server contains an OS (Operating System), Memory (RAM/DRAM), Central Processing Unit (CPU), Data Storage, Graphical Processing Unit (GPU), Network Connectivity Ethernet, Fibre Channel, iSCSI, Power Supply Unit (PSU) and finally a Motherboard to connect all of the components together.
For businesses with multiple clients and operations, servers should be an integral part of their IT infrastructure. Servers enable delivery of compute resource to support and underpin the requirements demanded by the objectives of the business.
Rack mount provide the most flexibility in a data centre as they can be repurposed for other applications and uses over the lifespan of the server.
A tower server is designed to sit under a desk and are designed to work in an environment without air conditioning and are ideal when a rack cabinet isn’t required.
There are many different types of servers, but the main ones are:
