Enterprise Servers

An enterprise server is a computer containing programs that collectively serve the needs of an enterprise rather than a single user, department, or specialized application. Some companies use enterprise server to describe a “superprogram” that runs under the operating system in a computer and provides services for the system administrator and for the business application program and more specialized servers that run in the computer. Before this usage originated, such services were sometimes considered part of the operating system itself or came in separate software packages.

Despite the fact that servers are made from commodity computer components, mission-critical enterprise servers are generally fault tolerant and make use of customized hardware and software with low failure rates to maximize server uptime.

An enterprise server provides consolidated connections, a choice of broadcast, TCP/IP or multicast, as well as user-defined tools for conflation and hibernation, resulting in improved network and desktop performance.

Key Features of Enterprise Servers:

• Sensible Data Conflation and Hibernation: This leads to a decrease in desktop and network traffic by around 75 percent when compared with conventional data delivery methods
• Connectivity: Supports managed network, private circuit, or Internet connections among redundant data centers and the main and remote sites.
• Flexible Topology: Facilitates streaming data connections by means of UDP broadcast, TCP/IP and IP multicast technologies. This minimizes bandwidth demands and ensures compatibility with network policies.
• IT Productivity: Allows organizations to make the most of limited IT resources
• Manageability: Creates better control and manageability over devices
• Enhanced Security Features: Better security ensures data integrity and confidentiality
• Fault Tolerance: Enhanced fault tolerance results in maximum reliability
• Productivity: Results in increased user productivity

Choosing the Best Enterprise Servers for Your Needs:

Step 1: Start by researching server specs based on the applications you plan to run.

There are two different ways to determine which processor, RAM, and hard drive requirements you should select when setting up a small business server:

1. Conducting research yourself:
   • Make a list of all of the applications you plan to run on the server.
   • Consider how many users each application needs to serve, now and in the near future.
   • Take this list and head on over to Google to look for advice and tests conducted by others that show how much server resources this application may use.
   • Wash, rinse, and repeat this step for each application and add at least 20% buffer to account for spikes in resource usage.
2. Book an expert server consultation:
   • Compile a list of applications you plan to run on the server.
