rent BGP How to judge the quality of the server? BGP server It is a more complex network configuration environment, which contains constantly updated new technologies. Micronet believes that before we buy BGP servers, we should have a corresponding understanding of these new technologies. Otherwise, it is difficult to figure out what these are new technologies and what are existing old technologies. The BGP server supplier will lead us to the nose. Next, Micronet will share some experience with you, and figure out how to consider the quality of BGP server hosting in traditional enterprises, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
1. Appropriate BGP server processor architecture
This is a very common problem for BGP servers. At this stage, BGP server has a variety of RISC processing architectures. Obviously, LA and x86-64 architecture processors are developed and produced by Intel and AMD respectively. At this stage, RISC architecture processors have emerged in large numbers, especially IBM POWER series HP's HP-PA series and SUN's UltraSPARC series.
Different processor architectures depend in many ways on the functional level of the BGP server and the overall price of the BGP server. For general small and medium-sized enterprises, most adopt Intel's LA architecture and AMD's x86-64 architecture. This processor usually has a lower scalability level, and the number of parallel expansion paths is usually less than 8, and most of them use the general Microsoft Windows BGP server system. However, today's BGP server processor is no longer a single core product. Four core products have been fully launched. It is believed that eight core products will join our vision and officially go into application before long. In addition, the current BGP server processors are basically pursuing multi-core, that is, multithreading. So now it seems that the BGP server has only a few processors, and the specific functions are equivalent to the past dozens of processors. In this way, the application of BGP server based on this processor has been greatly expanded, which is no longer limited to medium-sized enterprises and small enterprises, but also applicable to large enterprises. Of course, for those large enterprises and industry users who have very strict requirements on function, stability and scalability, it is still recommended to choose The BGP server of RISC architecture processor usually uses UNIX or Linux as its operating system. Naturally, most of the BGP servers also support Microsoft's Windows BGP server system.
2. Appropriate expandable range of BGP server hosting
The scalable level of the server is shown in the parallel expansion of processors and BGP server cluster. For ordinary loyalty, small enterprises mostly adopt the former, because this expansion technology is easier to achieve and costs less. The most commonly used parallel expansion technologies are SMP (Symmetrical multiprocessor) technology allows multiple identical processors to be placed in the same BGP server system at the same time, thus improving the performance of the BGP server. Most low-level entry-level BGP servers only have two routes, while workgroup level BGP servers can reach four routes, among which department level and enterprise level BGP servers can reach eight routes, 16 routes or even more than 100 routes. In fact, it is also necessary to distinguish between different processor architectures, The scalability of IA and x86-64 architectures is very poor. Most of them are under 8 routes. Enterprise servers reach 8 routes, while RISC architectures are workgroup level, and there are 100 routes that can reach 8 routes, such as SUN UItraSPARC series processors. For BGP server cluster technology, many foreign enterprises are using it at present, so that departmental BGP servers are gradually emerging. It also controls multiple identical or different BGP server clusters through cluster management software to achieve load balancing and improve the performance level of the entire BGP server system. It only needs to be specially loaded when matching. It is recommended that small and medium-sized enterprises cannot choose it.
3. Appropriate BGP server hosting structure
The key of BGP server architecture is the overall structure of BGP server, which can be divided into three parts: tower BGP server, rack BGP server and blade BGP server. They have different characteristics. The tower structure is the most traditional BGP server architecture The PC is exactly the same, except that the tower box of the BGP server is generally large, because it requires a large number of connectors and requires high space for cooling. Therefore, the tower structure can expand many buses and storage slots, provide many disk racks, and provide better heat dissipation. Its disadvantage is that its size is too large, and it may not be the first choice for enterprise users with more valuable room space.
And the rack structure is exactly the same as the common switch. It is box shaped and light, so it can be easily assembled on the desktop, which is also its feature. In addition, due to its limited space, its expansion capacity is generally limited, and the requirements for the thermal stability of BGP server accessories are higher than tower equipment. Due to its small space, it is not easy to dissipate heat, so there are also corresponding shortcomings.
Blade architecture is a new type of BGP server architecture. It is smaller than the rack architecture, but has more flexible expansion features. Therefore, it can be installed in a single blade cabinet to achieve functions similar to multi BGP server clusters. Because the blade BGP server itself is very small and identical to the module boards of other devices, several blade BGP servers, even dozens of such machines, can be assembled in one cabinet to realize the overall function of the BGP server.
4. Support the update iteration of new technology
BGP server is also similar to common The PC is exactly the same. The motherboard largely determines the overall performance and technical level of the host. And the characteristics of the motherboard are also determined by the corresponding chipset. The chipset that can be determined mainly includes the supported processor type and frequency, bus type, memory type and capacity, disk interface type, disk array support, etc. And all these types are very important for BGP servers.
The above is how to judge the quality of BGP servers when they are rented. I hope it will help you. Micronet has focused on the hosting and leasing of BGP cabinets for more than ten years, including single line and multi line cabinet rental services such as China Mobile Unicom. It is a professional IDC data cabinet hosting and leasing provider in Jiangsu Province, Professional services such as BGP cabinet rental, BGP multi line server hosting, BGP multi line server rental, Baidu standard customized cabinet, 48U super capacity, reduce user cabinet rental fees.
