Cost and Stability should be Considered when Selecting Storage Server Chassis

The professional storage server chassis is different from the ordinary desktop chassis. The professional storage server needs to be installed in the cabinet and equipped with other storage devices. Therefore, this case is different from the tower case. It adopts professional standard rack chassis, which can be divided into 1U, 2U, 3U, 4U, and other types according to the chassis height.

Cost

The processing cost of the 1U server chassis should be considered. Many 1U chassis are designed according to the ATX motherboard, which adds great difficulty to solving the heat dissipation problem. In addition, the stability of the server is much higher than that of the PC. So the cooling design of the rack server chassis has become a very important factor related to the stable operation.

To ensure the safe and stable operation of the server system, when selecting and purchasing chassis, the cooling structure should be considered first, rather than simply picking out a simple iron box. For example, once a customer selects a low-cost server, all the performance indicators are OK. But after the server is purchased and running, he finds that the case starts to heat up soon after the server is powered on and running, and the consequences are predictable. Such a server cannot guarantee stable operation for 7 * 24 hours. Therefore, the server chassis reduces the cost in the detailed design of the chassis structure at a very low price. The continuous cost saving is inestimable, which has caused great hidden trouble to the system and will not stop for a long time.

Server motherboard

Another factor that affects the stable operation of the server is the server motherboard. The production servers of many large companies' motherboards are also experts specializing in the production of storage server chassis. In addition to the reasonable structural design of the server chassis, the material and technology of the chassis also affect the level of the server. A good server chassis often costs materials without hesitation. Good materials and processes can ensure the mechanical strength of the chassis, shield the mutual electromagnetic interference between equipment, and ensure the stable operation of the system.

Compared with other domestic miscellaneous server chassis, it is superior to others in weight, material, quality, or structural design. The server pays more attention to stability than anything else. Sometimes the stability of the server is more important than its performance. Therefore, when selecting and purchasing the server chassis, you should consider the practicability and stability of the server chassis at the same time.
