Storage server has been widely used in all walks of life, from daily work, production records, video surveillance, to court court records, email backup, enterprise database backup, all need to use the storage server. With the popularity of server technology in the IT industry, you can assemble your storage server yourself by selecting the accessories. The storage server is mainly divided into two categories according to the work requirements: one is an application that mainly stores data, and occasionally has data query and call. This uses a low-end server with a large number of hard disks, such as a single-channel server and a large number of hard disks, such as security video. Monitor the servers used, enterprise production data backup servers, and more. This type of single-channel storage server can be used with Intel single-channel server motherboards, and with Xeon 3400/3200 series multi-core processors, and with RAID, motherboards such as Intel S3420GPLC/Intel S3200SH are good choices. Of course, some people use high-end desktop motherboards. This is not a responsible choice. Imagine that if the motherboard is damaged, you can't do data backup loss for one or two days. It is not a piece of motherboard money that can make up for it.

other is to store and recall data and heavy applications such as video server, user database server, the social network server, SMS and chat servers, gaming servers, etc. Wait. When the storage server DIY is assembled, different server architectures are needed in consideration of different applications, so as to facilitate the actual work in the future, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to save money when assembling. The high-end storage server in the assembly generally adopts the mainstream two-way server motherboard, with RAID disk backup, the software system is reduced as much as possible, and the data backup software such as Sitron Keda SDBS8.0 is installed to facilitate the operation management of the network management personnel. Recommended Intel motherboards include: Intel S5520SC /Intel S5000VSA, etc., reliable performance, price is applicable, is also a good choice.
Disk and disk array cards are another important part of the storage server. The hard disks used by the storage server are mainly divided into interfaces: SATA hard disk, SAS hard disk, SCSI hard disk, IDE hard disk, and even SSD solid state hard disk. The medium and high-end storage servers may use SCSI and SAS hard disks as storage banks, because these hard disk technologies are relatively stable and the performance indicators are relatively high. The mid-range and below storage servers can use SATA, IDE hard drives, etc., mainly because these hard drives are cheaper and the performance is also improving. The Intel SSD solid state drive can be mixed with SATA hard drives to improve data retrieval performance for Internet applications such as web search engines. SATA serial hard disk (Serial ATA) makes the storage server both physical and logical functions have been changed from the past, especially the emergence of 10,000-rpm SATA hard disk, so that SATA replaced SCSI calls again.
PROMISE 3Gb SAS Series EX8650 RAID array card
card is also called RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) card, a hard disk of the plurality of independently combining in different ways formed A hard disk group that provides higher storage performance and data backup technology than a single hard disk. On the one hand, it expands the number of hard drives that can be connected, and it also provides data security backup. The data backup function of the RAID disk array card has different levels such as Raid0, Raid1, Raid5, and Raid10. Once the user data is damaged, the backup information can be used to recover the damaged data, thereby ensuring the security of the user data.
The well-known brands include PROMISE, LSI, Adaptec, Highpoint and other brands, which can meet the needs of most users. The storage server generally needs to be configured with professional storage backup software, so that the efficiency and security of the storage server can be fully reflected. The best domestic backup software is the SSD Corind SDBS NV8.0 popular version, which can obtain 5 server authorizations. , 300 desktop backup licenses, the price is only a few thousand dollars.
At present, the well-known server accessories suppliers in China have Baotong and other enterprises, all of which have perfect technical services and spare parts replacement systems. Storage server DIY custom assembly required Intel server CPU, Intel server motherboard, Intel high-performance server network card, Seagate hard drive and data backup software, and server on-demand customization and assembly can enjoy one-stop service.
