Servers

Server optimization provides a way to improve the performance and speed of a server. Server optimization techniques are practiced extensively by companies to meet expectations such as accessibility, availability, and functionality with their websites. The optimal functions of any website are directly related to server optimization. In this article, we discuss server optimization, its benefits, and trusted techniques for optimizing servers. What Is Server Optimization? Server optimization...

While advances in virtualization and containerization are reducing the number of physical machines a server needs, growing businesses will invariably need to deploy servers in a larger physical space. However, a purpose-built data center is out of reach for many budgets. That's why colocation data center providers offer a superior solution to traditional, on-premises server rooms. Table of Contents What Is a Colocation Data Center? ...

Server security services stop the worst from happening. Hackers who get into a single user's systems may find something worth stealing, but chances are there won't be much to gain. It's the servers — with their databases, confidential information, and complete enterprise user files — where bad guys cause the most havoc. Gain access to a server, and you can lock all enterprise systems and...

Blade servers and rack servers are the stock-in-trade of data centers, chosen for their versatility, security, and ability to configure and connect large amounts of computing power in small spaces. But while blade servers and rack servers accomplish the same goal of organizing your server base, they do it in very different ways. Which one of them you choose could have big impacts on...

Web and application servers are often confused, partly because they work together, and partly because some vendors have consolidated web and application servers into dual-use machines. Similarly, the use of terms like “web application server” gives the impression they’re dual units when the reality is that they often are distinct, separate nodes. The critical difference between web servers and app servers is how each delivers...

IBM last month unveiled its proof of concept for the world's first 2-nanometer transistor technology. Initial projections show the breakthrough could lead to 45% higher performance and 75% lower energy use than today's 7nm processors. While 2nm technology is a few years away from coming to devices, IBM's success could benefit much of the chip industry. While AMD and TSMC's advancements in recent years put...

Proxy servers remain the powerful middlemen for securely passing internet communications between web clients and service providers in an evolving network. Proxy servers can increase internet connectivity, hide client IP addresses, and automate resource access. These high-powered computers are an added layer in the communication protocol, and primarily protect web clients and web servers, and ease workloads. A proxy server can do the job for growing organizations looking to...

Like any other asset or device, servers depreciate over time and malfunction when you least expect it. The good news: we know why and when to upgrade servers. Most upgrades can be divided into two buckets, upgrading to the newest technology and replacing existing servers for business continuity. Server complications can be anything from performance decay to limited disk space and an ended warranty. Either...
