How much does it cost to rent a data server?

"Data is priceless." The Internet age has made us understand the importance of data. Due to the importance of data, in order to ensure data security, it is necessary to choose a safe and stable data server. However, how to choose a reliable and stable data server? We start from five aspects to help you understand the database server's requirements for server hardware.

1. Powerful database functions

Ensure that the selected server can meet the requirements of operating system operation and business processing, and can also meet the increase in business volume within a certain period of time. Relevant personnel from Lele.com stated that they calculated the required server TPMC value based on an empirical formula (TPMC is a program that measures the business processing capabilities of a computer system), and then compared the TPMC values ​​compiled and published by various server manufacturers with TPC to select the corresponding model. The market price/quotation of the server is used comprehensively to divide the calculated TPMC value to obtain the quotation per unit TPMC value, so as to select the server with a higher functional quotation rate.

Conclusion: The functionality of a server processor is very important. The CPU's main frequency should be high and it should have a large cache.

2. Database reliability

Reliability criteria are the primary consideration for all equipment and system selection, especially in large systems with multiple requirements and long-term operation. When considering the reliability of a server system, we should not only consider the reliability or stability of a single server node, but also the overall reliability of the connection between the server and related auxiliary systems (such as network systems, security systems, remote printing systems, etc.). We should also consider the selection of clustering skills for important servers, such as dual hot backup or cluster parallel access skills, or even choose a complete fault-tolerant machine.

Conclusion: The server should have redundant skills, such as hard disk, network card, memory, power supply and other equipment should be stable, and function is second.

3. Database scalability

Make sure the server you choose has excellent scalability standards. Since the server is the center of all system processing, the request has a large data throughput rate, including: I/O rate and network communication rate, and the server needs to be able to handle the amount of data brought by business development within a certain period of time. The server is required to be able to upgrade itself according to the needs of business development at the corresponding time, such as CPU type upgrade, memory expansion, hard disk expansion, network card replacement, increase in the number of terminals, etc., connecting to disk arrays or cluster systems with other servers for concurrent access to aggregated data.

All of this requires that the chosen server has excellent scalability overall. In the planning of large-scale billing systems, the database and billing application servers usually choose cluster mode to increase reliability, and the disk storage system connected between them can choose DAS, NAS or San technology based on the amount of data and investment considerations.

Conclusion: The IO of the server should be very high, otherwise, when both CPU and memory are high-powered, there will be a bottleneck. In addition, the server is also highly scalable to meet the company's future needs.

4. Server Security

Most servers process the central data of the system, storing and operating important business and primary data. And these transactions are very sensitive to their property, and these transactions are very sensitive. The security of the server is closely related to the security of the entire system, such as the security of the network system, data encryption, code system, etc. The server's own needs, including hardware and software, should be considered from the perspective of security planning, with the help of external security facilities to ensure its own high security.

Conclusion: First, the data on the server side should have high hardness and high protection. Secondly, the server's cooling system and environmental adaptability are strong, and the hardware meets the server's security requirements.

5. The server is easy to operate

The server is both the center and the node of the entire system. Some of these, like network systems need to deal with protection, also need to deal with server usefulness. This requires that the server's hardware and software support a standard management system, especially the server's operating system, which also includes some major system components.

Conclusion: Try to choose a server that supports more systems, because the higher the system compatibility, the more options you have.
