Servers are the heart of
most modern networks. Because all network users depend on the
availability, performance and reliability of their servers, careful
attention must be placed on the configuration of the server.
Atronic Systems custom builds every
server to meet your specific needs. We will ensure that all of the factors
listed below have been taken
into account and explained after working with you to determine a network server
solution that meets your needs and your budget.
Some factors that must be taken into account when
designing a network server configuration are listed below.

Purpose
There are many types of
network servers, file servers, application servers, database servers etc.
The specific purpose of a server will have a major impact on
how it should be configured and its ability to serve the needs
of the network users.
|
|
Performance
The number of users
connecting to a network server and the number of files or
applications being served up to the users will govern
the resources required. CPU speed, the number of CPU's,
the amount of memory, disk size, and disk speed are just
some of the factors that must be taken into account to
ensure adequate performance. |
 |
|
|
 |
Fault Tolerance
Because a network server's roles and its
availability are critical to all of its users, attention must be
placed on the servers ability to tolerate errors. Disk
subsystems, power supplies and error-correcting memory are some
of the more commonly configured fault tolerant items in network
servers. |

|
Form Factor
Whether it be a stand alone standard
pedestal server or a high density rackmount farm of network servers, there
are several options in the physical dimensions of the server as
well as weight and cooling requirements that must be taken into
account. |
