Server Technologies

Which Server to choose Need Physical Server or Virtual environment ,  go with Cloud Servers or Hyper-Converged  or Edge Computing which solutions  is  right for our organization.

Few Challenges Faced while deciding the solution

 

Physical or Virtual – Physical Servers can have only one operating system on a single server, where as Virtual Server can have multiple servers and the resources can be customized as per physical server capacity . To run Virtual Server you need Hypervisor like Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware, Xen Server and KVM.

 

On Premise or On Cloud – Another dilemma comes should we host local or on the cloud putting the server local requires Rack, Power, UPS and Also Maintenance both from OEM and Managed Service Providers.  When put on Cloud the only Charge that comes is monthly recurring charges from the cloud provider. Backup and other thing need to be taken care.

 

Hyper Converged or SAN -Single or Multiple Storages Connected with Fiber or Ethernet Connected to  Single or Multiple Servers is called SAN.

When Each Sever Storage acts as part of entire cluster of servers its called Hyper Converged System.

Should go for Hyper converged or go for traditional SAN based server. It all depends the customer focus for growth if the customer feels there is not enough growth will happen in the storage and servers processing requirements its better to go with traditional SAN based Model preferred maximum 3 Servers Model otherwise any thing above 3 units its better to go with Hyper Converged Solutions.

 

 

 

Before Deciding to go ahead with any solutions its always better to have clear and better understanding or your business requirements and professional help from your IT Team or your IT Vendor who is capable to handle and have a deep understanding for designing complex server architecture design.
