刀片服务器和机架服务器的对比（Comparison of blade server and rack server） Rack server and its characteristics Frame type server is one that can be installed directly to the standard 19 inch rack of servers, usually this server from the size of view is similar to the switch, so the server is actually industrial standardization under the product, its appearance in accordance with the unified standard to design, with the uniform use of the cabinet, to meet the enterprise server intensive deployment requirements. The main function of rack server is to save space. Because it can install many servers into one cabinet, it can not only occupy less space, but also facilitate unified management. The height of an ordinary cabinet is 42U (1U=1.75 inches or 4.4 centimeters), the rack server is 19 inches wide, and most rack servers are 1U-4U high. Two, blade server and its characteristics The blade is a kind of high availability high density low cost server platform is designed for special application fields and high density computer environment design, the main structure of a large body of internal chassis, can be inserted on many blade, each blade is actually a system similar to the motherboard, a separate the server, they can start their own operating system through the local hard disk. Each blade can run its own system, serving different users of the specified group, and there is no association between them. Also, you can assemble these boards into a server cluster using system software. In cluster mode, all blades can be connected to provide high-speed network environments, sharing resources and serving the same user base. Inserting new blades into a cluster improves overall performance. And since each blade is hot swappable, the system can easily replace and minimize maintenance time. Three, blade server and rack server advantages of full contrast At present, blade server products, driven by multi-core and low power technology, will develop from the initial pursuit of high-density blade s
