Can I use a desktop computer as a server?

                  With the development of technology, many of the technologies used on servers have been slowly ported to desktops, and the gap in performance between the two has gradually narrowed. The price of desktop computers is usually more intimate than the server, so the small and medium-sized enterprises considering the cost issue have such a question: Can you use a desktop computer to do the server?

First, SMEs should know their actual needs, if the actual work are mostly small and medium online file sharing, print services, simple database application, then the high performance desktop fully meet this The need to use the server. However, because the server has high reliability requirements for the system, the electronic devices used by the server are quite different from those of the desktop.

For example, the capacitance server operating temperature can reach 125 degrees Celsius, while the desktop Problems capacitor used will generally not exceed 70 degrees Celsius. Therefore, using a normal desktop computer instead of a server may cause many problems, including system performance degradation, downtime, restart, crash, etc., and even system security risks. In this case, not only will the cost reduction be achieved, but also additional maintenance costs and data recovery costs will be lost.

In order to prevent the failure of desktop stability, you need to pay attention to the following issues:

1. Pay attention to disaster recovery work, regularly back up important data to prevent downtime Data loss caused by etc.;

2. Use server-specific power supply to ensure continuous operation for 7*24 hours;

3. The chassis should have enough space for heat dissipation to ensure system stability.

4. Select a high-quality network card with fast speed and low processor to improve the network performance of the server.

SMEs in the configuration, it is necessary to consider the cost to take care of their own needs, rational choice, not only because they are cheap suffer a great deal.
