What to look for when selecting a dedicated server?
When looking for a dedicated server, you need to ensure a balance between your component criteria and the vendor criteria.
The critical components usually include storage, processing power, network performance, and the operating system (OS).
However, assessing the infrastructure provider deploying these components is essential beyond the component level. After all, you'll need the expertise of a reliable infrastructure hosting partner to maximize the capabilities of any physical components.
So, if you are considering high-performance dedicated servers for your businesses, here's a helpful checklist for shopping around. 🛒
CPU: Three factors to consider when choosing a CPU are the number of cores, max turbo frequency, and thread number.
RAM and storage: Infrastructure providers offer a base amount of RAM and storage that can be adjusted to the server's physical limitations.
Network: The standard configuration is 1Gbps for single-socket servers and 10Gbps for anything above.
Operating system: The type of operating system required depends on individual user cases.
Open dialogue: Your hosting provider should partner to identify and achieve your unique goals.
