Nowadays, you have a large range of options to choose a processor that meets your demands. Today, we are going to discuss about two models (Intel and AMD). These two models meet all criteria, offers the best affordable price, match the performance ratio, etc … However, you will notice, BODHost.com only included Intel processors. Someone will say we like only Intel, but this is not the case. According our tests AMD does not offer as powerful processors as its cost. Intel processors are pretty ideal for everything such as gaming, streaming videos / audio encoding, graphics, and of course virtualization.
For an instance, Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550. Its 4 cores are driving up the top notch performance. This is really an ideal processor to encode many videos or music. For those who are seeking for game servers, the choice between Q9550 and E8400 is less clear. The frequency of the E8400 (2 cores) is 3GHZ per core against the Q9550′s (4 cores) 2.83 GHz. However, the games who do not take advantage on two core will become faster on dual core.
Even though, Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 2.83 GHz is just an upgraded version of Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66 GHz. The noticeable differences are frequency and CPU Cache. The Q9550 processor based on Yorkfield chip, and it has 12 MB of L2 cache. On the other hand Q9400 has 6 MB L2 cache. Moreover, Q9550 offers better quality, however, the price ratio is higher than its predecessor.
For your information, BODHost offers both, Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 and Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 dedicated servers. The prices are clearly not the same, but surprisingly many e-commerce stores are regularly showing their interest in these servers.
Undoubtedly, the Q9400 and Q9550 are the most interesting and popular among online business entrepreneurs. So if you are searching a Quad Core Dedicated Server at a reasonable price, you probably know better than me what you have to do …
Dell Quad Core Xeon X5550 2.66 GHz is designed for multiprocessor systems. The architecture consists of four quad core execution units, also called processing units, within a single processor. This processor offers an excellent performance and a high processing capacity for high Internet server loads. Thus, the response time, the number of supported users and scalability improves strongly. This product has been tested and validated by Dell.
These servers can give a whole new portfolio to your business. In addition, servers are available in several formats such as towers, blades, rack mount, workstations, new storage system Equalogic, software and services, etc …

Blade Servers -
Dell’s blade servers are mostly popular for the faster deployment than HP and IBM Blade Servers. Additionally, Dell has developed a function ImageDirect, which helps to simplify administration of the image servers and facilitate their development. Companies can create images of servers and ask them to be implemented during during the manufacturing of the server in the factory.
This avoids time consuming manual configuration. Hence, the deployment times are shortened and the time span to operate such servers decreased by almost 45%. The device allows to quickly stabilize such systems during the operation.
Workstations -
Moreover, dell precision workstations are also designed around Intel Xeon 5500 microprocessor, they are characterized by advanced administrative capacity and thermal characteristics.
The new family includes the Dell Precision T7500, T5500 and T3500 tower. These stations were designed for technical applications, media industries, bio sciences etc… All these servers feature the Energy Star 5.0 certification.
Side Software –
The Dell Management Console (DMC), which is borrowed from Altiris and Symantec aims to bring a single point environment to entire administration systems for all computing.
Storage System -
EquaLogic PS6000 storage system provides higher level performance, advanced virtualization abilities and more value to your business. It integrates seamlessly into a storage area network SAN Equalogic to form a virtualized storage.
Dell includes the SAN HeadQuarters solution, which is a centralized dashboard for monitoring performance and the different events of dozens of PS systems, up to 10 PB (petabytes) of storage capacity in a network.
Finally, Dell offers the data center consulting services as well. It allows to evaluate performance of the data center, costs of materials, virtualization of servers, the optimization of backup and restoration.

Network Attached Storage(NAS) :
The NAS is stands for Network Attached Storage. NAS appliances work as pure file servers which are controlled by their own integrated network operating system. The memory is organised through file sharing, meaning that access to data is only possible at file system level.
Storage Area Networks(SAN) :
SAN stands for Storage Area Network. It also includes iSCSI. SAN is the technology which sometimes is also referred to as IPSAN or Storage over IP for storage networks, dictates the operation of direct storage protocols natively via IP. It works by encapsulating SCSI data into TCP/IP packets and transporting them via IP networks. Then an SCSI router transports the encapsulated SCSI commands to the corresponding target system based on existing mapping tables. This way, without setting up separate storage devices, iSCSI allows access to the storage network via a virtual end-to-end connection.
Topology Of SAN And NAS :
Some important Features Of NAS:
1.Those PC who can connect with LAN(or is interconnected to the LAN through a WAN) they permit NFS, CIFS or HTTP protocol to connect to a NAS and share files.
2.NAS recognize the data with the help of file name and byte balance, move file meta-data and also manage security, user verification, file locking.
3.NAS specifically permits information sharing between Unix and NT.
4.NAS head unit manage file system.
Some important Features of SAN :
1.Only when server class devices with SCSI Fibre Channel can connect to the SAN.
2. A SAN addresses data by disk block number and transfers raw disk blocks.
3.In case of SAN file sharing process is depends on OS.
4.In case of SAN File System is handle by servers.
