Servers are stand-alone computers connected to a network. These machines are created to serve programs from other machines via network requests, as is the case with HTTPS, for example. Often we can have a server serving programs on machines on our network, a network which, thanks to its scope, we should define as a local network.
These connections usually cover a room or even a building. They can also be connected to places on the other side of the world, which is why they are called the internet (a network where several networks connect). So you could be accessing a page that has been offered by a server running in India, without having to leave your home in BH.
These services include things like web pages, storage, virtual machines and so on.
As a result, many other people around the world are able to request these services from the server. So following this logic, the server will have to be able to process and respond to all these requests in a timely manner. This defines the minimum characteristic of a server as a powerful processor capable of performing these processes. That’s why, at Master da Web for example, we always give preference to processors from the AMD Epyc family.
Now that we know what servers are and that they process requests from other users, we should understand how AMD Epyc processors can help a datacenter offer more efficient services.
Security in AMD Epyc:
These processors are designed to offer greater security compared to other similar processors. One of the components of a processor is the memory controller. This device is responsible for controlling the input and output of data from the main memory (RAM). Through an isolated process at the board’s silicon level, it isolates the transfer of this data to memory. It also has a feature that encrypts data when writing it to RAM and when reading it.
AMD Epyc compared to other processors:
It is a processor that manages to outperform its competitors while maintaining energy efficiency. Thus, companies that previously had problems with the performance of their applications will be able to have their solutions without worrying too much about energy costs or even an increase in the electricity bill. ZEN technology provides an additional layer of security for the data handled by the processor, as it inserts encrypted data into memory and decrypts it when it is read.
Cost-effective AMD Epyc:
Cost-effectiveness is extremely important when it comes to AMD Epyc processors. They are able to offer greater processing capacity than other processors at a much lower cost.
Intel Xeon or AMD Epyc?
When compared, both have their pros and cons. It’s very difficult to measure which would be the ideal option when we consider cost-benefit coupled with performance. In any case, the cost of AMD Epyc processors and Intel Xeon processors are very similar. But when put side by side in a benchmark competition we see that AMD processors are superior in their multi-threading processing.
AMD Epyc features:
This processor has 24 cores and 48 threads, allowing it to work on multiple tasks simultaneously. In addition, it is capable of working at a speed of 2.8GHz at its base frequency. Plus an incredible 128MB of L3 cache memory. This processor also features AMD’s infinite architecture technology.
Conclusion:
We have seen that servers such as AMD Epyc can be strategic for organizations. At Master da Web we offer these processors as standard configuration and we are innovating daily to guarantee more and more performance and energy efficiency for our operations and for our customers’ virtualizations. They offer innovative technologies in the field of information technology, such as ZEN technology. This demonstrates the company’s characteristic and concern for always trying to offer a better service to its customers. This activity demonstrates a generation of value that adds not only to customers, but also to the company’s processes as a whole.
