What you have and what you really need

Not all servers are built equal

There are many types of servers and they are built with different goals in mind. They can be classified into four categories of servers:

In the figure below we can see the classification of servers.

Since the mission critical and high density servers are suitable only for a small fraction of businesses we do not cover them here.

The tower servers use physical space inefficiently. Moreover, the temperature management of the room with a few servers can be more challenging than the room of racks. Most data centers use rack servers stacked up in groups. The cable, power and air-flow management is much easier and efficient for rack servers. The server maintenance, e.g. expanding or replacing parts is also much easier for rack servers.

The most U1 rack servers are one-socket servers. In other words, they have only one CPU inside. They offer a cost-effective solution for a single system. But because of the single CPU they have limited memory expansion. And most U2 rack servers are two-socket servers. They offer feature reach systems for demanding workloads. They offer much larger memory, larger GPU expansion.

Virtualization or no virtualization

At this point assume we have selected the server the most suitable for your task. This is not the end of the story. There are three choices you can have depending on the level of customization you want:

The capabilities of the cloud infrastructure allow a dynamic and quick reconfiguration of servers from bare metal to virtual machine instances. For critical tasks where 5% gain can be advantageous renting the bare metal can be the best option given the short term rental plan. If the solution relies on a process which is executed for a short period of time and the timing is not very critical, e.g. processing the collected data, or data transformation, than the container is the most suitable solution. As we can see it does depend on the taks at hand to determine the most suitable solution.

Time to act

If you already have own a server, a virtual machine or a container you probably want to know if it is the most suitable solution for you. Just drop us an email and we will advise you for free.
