What is Server ？
• Server is a computer that serves other
clients in the network. What scenarios is the server used for?
Server is a high-performance computer that provides
(such as PC) shared resources (including query, storage, Business
calculation, etc.) to clients in the network under the Business
type
control of the network operating system. ERP
Its high performance is mainly reflected in high-speed

Server Composition
• The server is mainly composed of CPU, memory, hard disk, RAID card, and network card， provide basic
information with basic hardware such as power supply, motherboard, and chassis. Different from PC, the
server comes with management system to facilitate server remote control and room management.

Customer demand determines the direction of the server
Scale-up ：Improves the performance, scalability, and
reliability of a single server. Adapted to financial
transactions, scientific research, meteorological analysis and
other fields.
Hyper-converged ： Application scenario 1: Key business (enterprise core
puts computing, storage, networking, and database, core application system, etc.)
management in a single box for high
convergence, optimized performance, and ease

of use.
Application Scenario 3: Converged
Architecture (High Performance Data Analytics,
HPC, Integrated Data Center)
Converged Scale Out
Scale-out ：Through a distributed architecture,
work tasks are split into multiple servers for
processing. Pursue high density, large-scale
expansion, energy saving, and unified management.
Application Scenario 2: Internet-like services
Application Scenario 4: (very large-scale data centers, big data analytics,
public clouds, web applications)
