What is a minicomputer server used for?

It is also possible to run a household, do the charge management of Internet cafes, etc.

According to the type of CPU, the minicomputer is a dedicated server based on the RISC (Reduced Instruction Set) architecture, while the server is a PC server based on the CISC (Complex Instruction Set) architecture. Minicomputers have always had incomparable advantages over ordinary servers. If it must be stable, it has the super ability to deal with complex multi-tasking, the downtime is far lower than other types of servers, the availability is very high, its IO throughput capacity is extremely strong, it can effectively deal with the huge amount of data that bursts from time to time, it is good at accessing and processing large databases, its scalability is also good, providing users with as much room for expansion and upgrading as possible, the security of the minicomputer is also very high, generally using a dedicated operating system, there is a strong independence, and the design strategy to prevent intrusion from the bottom is To ensure the safe and smooth operation of the server, there is also its load capacity, the dynamic partition management adopted by the minicomputer, and the flexible allocation of system resources according to the size of the load of different applications.

The high cost of small computers and the special system have been restricting the development of small computers, which is why many people do not know the concept of small computers.

When constructing and buying a small computer, the main consideration is its computing power, I o throughput capacity and TPMC value, the higher the TPMC value, the stronger the transaction processing ability of the machine, and the most used in China is IBM, HP, SUN These brands of various grades of small computers. Sun's minicomputers have a more complete solution for Internet intranet applications and are also cost-effective, HP's machines have the characteristics of strong stand-alone processing power, and IBM is more advanced in independent systems and storage.

There are many uses.

1.FTP servers can be set up to share files, data, etc. within the LAN.

2.Set up a web server, you can put the company's web page on the server, used to publish the company's information or promote the company's image, the local area network can be accessed, and the external network can also be accessed.

3.The mail server can establish the company's own mail service and name the intranet mailbox name independently.

In fact, it is mainly to promote their own company.

Minicomputer or MidrangeComputer is an outdated term used to refer to a class of computer products that are between mainframes and microcomputers, and it is a class of high-performance computing products first developed by DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) in the 60s.

The mainframe is a computer system used for large-scale computing because of its large size, and is called a mainframe because of the large size of its early products.

The PC server mainly refers to the X86 architecture based on Intel processors, which is a universal and open system. Relatively speaking, the PC server has a high performance ratio, versatility is one of its biggest advantages, you can easily use the PC server when you use the PC, its hardware structure is similar to the PC, the user has the bottom of the heart; Its operating system is generally Windows NT 2000, and it is easy for users who are used to Windows 95 98 to master, and the application software is also richer. In addition, cheapness is also the advantage of PC servers, and the price is between PCs and expensive minicomputers, with the best performance ratio.
