The industrial computer is a special PC server, which generally stores important data or is used for equipment management. In the communication room, like other communication equipment, it is kept on for 24 hours. It is precisely the lower control computer that is specially designed for the industrial site, and the industrial site generally has strong vibration, a lot of dust, and serious electromagnetic interference. , It has higher dust-proof, anti-magnetic and anti-shock capabilities, and the price is more expensive than ordinary computers.
The industrial computer runs various operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, UNIX, Solaris, CentOS, FreeBSD or other operating systems, and on this basis runs various application software, such as management, monitoring, billing, database, query, search , backup and other application systems.
The server that most people thought was a mystery in the past is no longer as complicated as they thought. In the past, special hardware such as chipset motherboard, ECC memory check, 64-bit PCIX interface, SCSI hard disk, etc.
Humans can manage. However, Intel adopts an open platform approach. A-architecture servers do not have any privacy in terms of technology. Many small and medium-sized system integrators can buy some components from the market, and assemble a server product like a personal computer. It is the so-called "white card machine!".
With the promotion and popularization of cloud computing, SDN and NFV technologies, low-cost and mature white-box servers are becoming more and more sought after and carry many important responsibilities. Choosing white-box machines to reduce infrastructure costs is a common practice among cloud computing and service providers, which has led to a decline in sales for major server companies. Over the past few years, the Open Computing Platform (OCP), originally designed by Facebook, has been gaining traction as a hardware specification for large-scale data center computing. White-label servers that conform to the OCP specification can be deployed in the data center. The advantages are low hardware cost, low power consumption, good interoperability and compatibility, so that white-label server manufacturers can use hardware products from different manufacturers.
