The tower server should be the type of server structure that everyone sees most and is the easiest to understand, because its shape and structure are similar to those of the vertical PC we usually use. Of course, due to the strong scalability of the server board, the slot There are also a lot more, so the size of the head is larger than the ordinary motherboard, so the mainframe chassis of the tower server is larger than the standard ATX chassis, and generally enough space is reserved for the future expansion of the hard disk and the power supply.
Because the chassis of the tower server is relatively large, the configuration of the server can be very high, and the redundancy expansion can be very comprehensive, so its application range is very wide. It should be said that the server with the highest usage rate is the tower server. The common server we usually say is generally a tower server, which can be used to integrate a variety of common services, both speed applications and storage applications can be solved using a tower server.
In terms of the use of objects or usage levels, the current common entry-level and workgroup-level servers basically adopt this server structure type, and some departmental applications will also adopt, but since there is only one host, even if there is an upgrade and expansion, there is also Limits, so in some enterprises with high application requirements, stand-alone servers can not meet the requirements, and multiple machines need to work together. The tower servers are too big, too independent, and work together in space occupation and system management. Inconvenient, this is also the limitation of the tower server. However, in general, the functions and performance of such servers can basically meet the requirements of most enterprise users, and the cost is usually low, so these servers still have very wide application support.
