Which servers are generally used by live streaming servers?

A server, also called a server, is a device that provides computing services. Because the server needs to process corresponding service requests, generally speaking, the server should have the ability to undertake and guarantee services. The server is the only hardware device we need to build a live broadcast platform. Today we will analyze for you what are the commonly used servers for live streaming?

The servers commonly used in live broadcasts are VPS servers, dedicated servers and cloud servers.

VPS (virtual private server) technology divides a server into multiple virtual private servers. VPS technology includes container technology and virtualization technology. (Such as Microsoft Virtual Server, VMware ESX Server, SWSoft Virtuzzo) Create multiple independent small servers to run and manage as independent hosts, so that users have independent public IP addresses, different disk space, independent memory and operating system when using them, which has unique cost advantages. The VPS server uses operating system virtualization technology to achieve isolation between software and hardware. It has complete control over the server without interference from other external factors, thus enhancing the security of the server, facilitating migration, and having backup and recovery functions.

Dedicated server (dedicated IP host)

A dedicated IP host is a server that is divided into multiple spaces using certain technologies and then assigned an independent IP to each virtual host. VPS hosting is relatively affordable compared to dedicated hosting, but it cannot meet the needs of larger, more complex websites and high-traffic websites. Dedicated hosting offers a scalable, highly customizable alternative.

Key benefits:

one. Rich in resources. Users only need to place their own website and have the right to use the entire server, and then they can install the required software or service components on the server, such as mail post office, OA office system, ERP system, etc.

Two. Quick access. Since there is no need to share server bandwidth with other users, website access speed is much faster than that of web host users.

Three. It is good for SEO. In terms of search engines, the weight of a dedicated server is higher than that of a website on a virtual host, just like occupying a building or renting an office, which gives a different impression to customers.

Cloud server is a simple, efficient, secure and reliable computing service with flexible and scalable processing capabilities. This management method is simpler and more efficient than physical servers. Its advantages are as follows:

1.Cloud servers include cloud computing technology. Cloud computing integrates various software and hardware technologies. Dedicated servers are independent and will not integrate these technologies, thus saving more space.

2. Safer. Since cloud servers are resistant to attacks and spoofing, stored data will never be lost.

3. More reliable performance. Since the service is distributed across multiple servers and even multiple computer rooms, it is not easy to shut down completely and has strong disaster and fault tolerance capabilities, ensuring long-term online operation.

4. Low price: Compared with physical server leasing, cloud servers support pay-as-you-go and are more cost-effective. The above server types can be selected by enterprises according to their own market needs. In real-time platforms, cloud servers are the most commonly used servers.
