How to configure the network server

Select a certain network server configuration to meet the needs of the user, requiring a correct understanding of the planned use of the server. Users can choose different web server configurations to meet a variety of business applications.

When choosing a network server configuration, you should consider the following aspects:

1. The number of supported users

2. Support the type of user a small business, Medium-sized enterprises, large enterprise users

3.Data size/number of files processed

4.Processed data/processed files

Application to network transmission Requirements

1.CPU utilization

2. Cache requirements

A database application

The server specializes in online transaction processing (OLTP), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and data storage, this application requires:

1. Considerable CPU processing power

2. Large memory capacity data storage needs for data caching :

3. Additional CPU, memory, input and output capabilities for directory compilation, extraction, and analysis of large amounts of data

4. Simple OLTP database applications (eg: Basic) SQL Server Oracle)

5-20 users 2-4 1GB Less than or equal to 100GB 1000MB/1

20-100 User 4 2GB is less than or equal to 200GB 1000MB/1-2

100-200 users 4-6 4GB-6GB Less than or equal to 400GB 1000MB/1-2

200 or more 6-8 8GB-16GB 500 -1000GB 1000MB/4

Two basic construction applications

File and print servers require less CPU processing power than database servers, but have high I/O requirements and handle transactions with network clients. End data.

The scalability of the memory and I/O slots of this type of server is of the highest priority.

The domain controller needs to respond quickly to domain name lookup requests and needs to:

1. High speed I/O

2. High speed CPU

information /Email server requires high speed storage I/O. Disk I/O is a common bottleneck in these types of systems. In order to achieve more efficient storage and recovery of information data, it is necessary to select different kinds of RAID storage schemes according to the information server file type. The ability of the processor is only a higher consideration when the information server acts as a gateway or "connector" connection —— an external mail system.

Number of Users CPU Quantity Memory (MB) Total Hard Disk Capacity NIC Number and Quantity Remarks

1-10 User 1 128-256 Less than or equal to 30GB 100MB/1

Each additional 25 users 1 Increase 128M Increase 50GB 100MB/1-2 200 users or more Use 2 cpu

Three Web and Internet Services

The type of data that Web servers provide to their customers is usually confidential. Static web directory pages require less CPU processing power than most dynamic pages that need to be updated, such as Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP). Priority components include:

1.Multi-NIC

2. High-speed disk I/O is preferred

3. E-commerce servers usually provide business logic and user authentication services.

4. Powerful CPU processing and the need to choose multiple CPUs that support scalability

5. The choice of memory capacity and scalability is also a very important factor.

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) often provide dedicated servers for individual companies to complete email or web services. For such ISPs that need to provide as many servers as possible for each data center room, server density is a primary factor.

1.Physical size

2.I/O speed

3.Memory capacity

4. Single or multi-channel processors are usually available Accept

The firewall server needs to select a high speed CPU and the proxy server needs enough memory to store and cache the web address. Additional requirements for the Caching Proxy Server:

Memory and Mass Storage for Directory Storage

The size of the server is a factor to consider in order to accommodate a limited amount of free space for the largest number of servers.

Number of Users CPU Quantity Memory (MB) Total Disk Capacity Number and Number of Network Cards

Only static web pages 1 128-256 are smaller than Equivalent to 40GB 100MB/1

Generate dynamic webpage 2 256-1GB Less than or equal to 100GB 100MB/2-4

LAN 200 visits/sec 1 256-512 Less than or equal to 50GB 100MB/2

LAN 500 accesses/sec 2 512-1GB Less than or equal to 100GB 100MB/4

LAN 100 accesses/sec 2-4 1GB-8GB Less than or equal to 500GB 1000MB/2

Four Application Servers

In a three-level client server architecture, the "business logic" function provided as a second-level application server is like a client at one end and a database server at the other end. The same as the communication.

CPU and memory capacity is a major factor

Collaboration and groupware servers, such as Lotus Notes, have created rules and groupware:

Medium CPU, memory And I/O resources

Terminal servers, or other servers based on computing, all hardware and software resources are on the terminal server and are shared by all users. The application runs on a terminal server, including a client-facing graphical user interface (GUI).

Storage capacity is an authentication metric for a terminal server

Multi-channel CPUs are also a high-priority metric. Small applications and many direct applications usually do not emphasize the need for a multi-processor server.

Memory and I/O requirements are based on the number of user access requests.

Number of Users CPU Quantity Memory (MB) Total Disk Capacity Number and Number of Network Cards

10-500 Users 1 256 -1GB less than or equal to 50GB 100MB/1

500-1000 users 2 1GB-2GB less than or equal to 100GB 100MB/2-4

1000 users or more 2-4 2GB-4GB 100GB-200GB 1000MB/1
