Components in a physical data center are held in rack servers or blade servers. Learn the differences, what type of environment you need and which server uses work best.
A server is a computer intended to process centralized enterprise-class applications and communicate within a busy business network. Although any computer can function as a server, computers that are designed and built as servers typically provide high-end computing resources, including the fastest processors, extensive amounts of fast memory, local disk storage or connectivity to storage networks, and plenty of network bandwidth. Such ample resources enable the server to handle the largest and most complex enterprise applications, while also servicing many concurrent users across the enterprise.
