What are the differences in performance requirements between servers and workstation computers?

A server is a computer with a large load, because when serving the entire network, the workload of the server is several times or even dozens of times that of an ordinary workstation. The main differences between a server and a regular computer are as follows:

fast computing speed;

Large storage capacity (including memory capacity and hard disk capacity);

High reliability and stability.

A server refers to the server side, and a workstation refers to the client. Generally, in typical applications, such as WEB, ERP, OA applications, there is only one server or one cluster, and there can be thousands of visitors (clients), so it has higher performance requirements for the server. At present, you can take a look at the mainstream server configuration here, it is the official ** of the domestic server brand Zhengrui, there are many models on it, configuration, **, very referential.

The server is to provide workstation services in the same network, such as the network game server, which provides services to many game consoles, the workstation is only a single computer in the network, in terms of performance requirements, the CPU, memory and hard disk of the server are generally higher than the workstation, and the specific performance requirements of the workstation depend on the purpose of the workstation, such as making graphics, and the graphics card requirements of the workstation are particularly high.

The performance of the workstation is generally between that of a small computer andMicrocomputersbetween high-end microcomputer systems.

A workstation is a high-end, general-purpose microcomputer. It is intended for single fibrillation for large users and is available for use more than a personal computer.

More powerful performance, especially in terms of graphics processing power, the ability to parallel tasks. It is usually equipped with a large high-resolution screen, a multi-screen display, and a large amount of internal and external memory. And it has extremely strong information and high-performance graphics and image processing functions.

First, the subject is different.

1. Workstation: It is a high-end general-purpose microcomputer.

2. Desktop server: It is a kind of computer, which runs faster, has a higher load, and is more expensive than ordinary computers.

Second, the characteristics are different.

1. Workstation: Single-user use and provides more powerful performance than personal computers, especially in terms of graphics processing power and task parallelism.

2. Desktop server: It has high-speed CPU computing power, long-term reliable operation, strong external data throughput capacity and better scalability.

Third, the advantages are different.

1. Workstation: a computer equipped with high-resolution large screen, multi-screen display, large capacity of internal memory and external memory, and with strong information and high-performance graphics and image processing functions.

2. Desktop server: The server must have a certain degree of "scalability" and the server must have "easy management".

Servers can be divided into tower servers, rack servers, and blade servers according to the form factor. The chassis of the server is mainly rack-mounted.

The chassis of the workstation is mainly of the tower type. The server is mainly placed in the professional IDC computer room, due to the high density, the cooling fan adopts a high-rotation fan, resulting in high noise, but often the noise is not considered, and the heat dissipation effect is good. Most of the workstations are located in corporate office locations, and more attention is paid to noise reduction.

Because servers need to provide highly reliable services, they have high requirements in terms of processing power, stability, reliability, security, scalability, and manageability. Workstations, on the other hand, are usually equipped with large, high-resolution screens, multi-screen displays, and large internal and external memory. The server is generally used for data computing, and there is no need to configure an independent graphics card, and the integrated graphics card can meet the requirements; The workstation is generally used to process graphics images, and needs to be equipped with an independent professional graphics card.

In the application field, servers are used in data storage, high-performance computing, network interconnection, shared data, cluster computing, streaming, online games, and more. The workstation is based on personal computers and distributed network computing, mainly for professional applications, with powerful data computing, graphics and image processing capabilities. It is mainly used in graphics image processing, high-performance computing, numerical simulation, meteorological data processing, finite element analysis, visualization of large graphics, geological exploration, oil and gas, 4K**, etc.

Compared with traditional servers and workstations, cloud workstations are now more popular, so that everyone can work efficiently, do not worry about local computer configuration problems, and deploy efficiently in a short timeZanqi Cloud Workstationto help cloud office.

Zanqi Cloud WorkstationIt has a variety of machine configurations such as professional-grade graphics cards and large memory. The machine graphics card is updated in a timely manner, providing high-end models, massive resources can be selected on demand, and the built-in software center provides the latest software installation package, one-click **, saving search time and improving work efficiency.

Difference between workstation and PC:

The workstation itself is a computer, but it is more powerful than the ordinary user's home or office computer, and the workstation often only specializes in dealing with a certain type of problem, such as architectural design, film and television production, etc., and its hardware and software are also specially designed to best deal with a certain aspect of the problem;

A server is a combination of hardware or software, and its role is to satisfy the computer that asks it for information;

Of course, ordinary computers are generally used for personal general things, and the hardware and configuration are definitely weaker than workstations and servers.

Workstations can be part of a network, or they can be separated, running and working independently;

The server is the most important part of a network, which constantly fulfills resource requests from other devices located in the network;

PCs mostly provide or request data from workstations and servers.

The workstation needs to be equipped with independent IO hardware, including mouse, keyboard, etc.;

The server does not necessarily require a separate IO device;

PCs have the same hardware as workstations, except that the performance is not as stable as that required by workstations.

Workstations often have a GUI interface, if not, then this workstation may be used for some very specific work, but most workstations have a GUI interface;

The server doesn't have to have a GUI interface;

The PC must have a monitor.
