What is a server?

What is a server? is a device that provides services to computers. Its components mainly include a processor, hard drive, memory, system bus, and more. Servers offer high reliability and possess advantages in processing power, stability, reliability, security, scalability, and manageability.

When categorizing servers based on architecture, there are two main types:

One type is non-x86 servers, which include mainframes, minicomputers, and UNIX servers. They utilize RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) or EPIC (Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing) processors.

The other type is x86 servers, also known as CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing) architecture servers. These are commonly referred to as PC servers and are based on the PC architecture. They primarily use Intel or compatible x86 instruction set processors and Windows operating system for servers.

Servers can also be classified into four categories based on their application level: entry-level servers, workgroup-level servers, departmental servers, and enterprise-level servers.

As a leading enterprise in the internet industry, Inspur develops and manufactures its own servers. Inspur’s servers are divided into general-purpose servers and commercial servers. Within general-purpose servers, they can be further categorized based on product forms such as rack servers, multi-node servers, whole cabinet servers, tower servers, and workstations. When considering application scenarios, they are classified into categories such as large-scale cloud data centers, massive data storage, AI computation acceleration, enterprise critical applications, and open computing.

Currently, Inspur’s servers have been widely adopted in various industries, earning the trust of many enterprises. Inspur’s server solutions cater to the needs of different scenarios, ranging from micro-enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises, medium-sized enterprises, large enterprises, to conglomerates.
