Hey guys, I have a few questions for anyone who has done anythgin with servers! This is for a project that I have to accomplish in school, so far Google turns up countless irrelevent results. So any help is greatly appreciated.
Ok, the first thign is, what are servers mainly used for? I know that they can be for websites, but I don't see the point in having a machine that has two CPUs and loads of RAM and a few HDDs just for a website that's only a few MB in space, if not less. So, what is the purpose of a server? What is it's function?
What kind of HDDs can you use in a server? What is the amount of space a HDD should have in a server? What kinds of HDD can be used in the server? Which are in your opinion, considered the best, in all aspects of the meaning, "best".
What kind of processing power does a server need? A high frequency Xeon or an Opteron? How much RAM do you need in a server?
