When any change is to be made it is directly on the file application that is open .The file and data writes to these &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_file" title="Computer file" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink"&gt;files&lt;/a&gt;. If 10 users are online on data then 10 are working and writing on the file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a client server approach data is still stored in a file but controlled by a server all the access in the hand of server. When any of application wants to make use of existing data then application request is send to server. After that server reads the request and send feedback. When any of application wants to writes something on file the request is send to server the server writes on the file. One single person reads and writes from this data files.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oracle, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Informix" title="IBM Informix" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink"&gt;Informix&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/sql" title="Microsoft SQL Server" rel="homepage" class="zem_slink"&gt;Microsoft Sql Server&lt;/a&gt; are the best suit example of client server databases. Single user desktop just like &lt;a href="http://office.microsoft.com/access" title="Microsoft Access" rel="homepage" class="zem_slink"&gt;Microsoft access&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are lots of advantages of client server databases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Single program reading and writing data the less chance of accidental changes or crashes of data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Only single program play good role of security so enforcement of security is easy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-server" title="Client-server" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink"&gt;Client server&lt;/a&gt; databases use network bandwidth more efficiently then &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_server" title="File server" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink"&gt;file server&lt;/a&gt; databases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) All things are handling by single computes so performance is good and quite impressive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Client-&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_%28computing%29" title="Server (computing)" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink"&gt;servers&lt;/a&gt; databases use some good features that protect our data just like logging transactions and recovery from disk and network errors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of these features are also available in file server approach but these need more expensive client server market.

The main reason is the cost. A shared web hosting server costs a great deal less than a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_server" title="Game server" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink"&gt;dedicated server&lt;/a&gt;. The number of sites on a shared web hosting server can be anywhere from 1500 to 2000 sites. The number of sites on the shared web hosting server will vary due to availability of disk space, allowed bandwidth per site and overall speed. Although shared web hosting is reliable and has minimal problems, there are advantages to host your site(s) on a dedicated server.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A dedicated server for your web hosting allows you to have a server solely dedicated to your site(s). In addition, a dedicated server will allow you complete authority to control and administer your server. When and if you decide on a dedicated server for your web hosting, you should have a fair understanding of dedicated servers. Although most dedicated server web hosting providers will provide &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_support" title="Technical support" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink"&gt;technical support&lt;/a&gt;, you will find it a lot easier if you have the technical expertise to manage the server yourself. However, if you find that you will not be able to manage your server by yourself, opt for a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Managed_dedicated_server" title="Managed dedicated server" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink"&gt;managed dedicated server&lt;/a&gt; hosting. This option is especially for those who want to have dedicated web hosting but do not have the required expertise to manage it. This service allows you to have an entire server managed by a specialized hosting company. The cost of a managed dedicated server is quite expensive. Therefore, if you think that you can run and manage your &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website" title="Website" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; server by yourself, you should opt for an unmanaged dedicated server web hosting rather than a managed dedicated server.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should consider a dedicated server web hosting when you find that the traffic to your site has increased substantially and your site is taking too much time to load. An analysis of the traffic to your site will tell you whether you should go to a dedicated server. The main thing to understand is that when you have many users working concurrently on your website, you should replace your shared web hosting with a dedicated server web hosting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since a dedicated server web hosting does not share its server with other websites (like shared web hosting), you will find that you have a lot more command over your server operation and its bandwidth. One of the advantageous features of dedicated server web hosting is that it can also be remotely configured and operated. The only obstacle is the cost. You are required to pay a lot more for your dedicated server web hosting as compared to your shared web hosting. Nevertheless, the facilities more than compensate for the cost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you choose a dedicated server web hosting provider, you should keep in mind that it should provide you good network stability, reliable operation, and the ease of operation of sophisticated applications. A dedicated server web hosting provider can be the perfect solution for anyone who is serious about his &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web" title="World Wide Web" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink"&gt;online&lt;/a&gt; presence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information about a dedicated server and web hosting, visit Dedicated Server and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_hosting_service" title="Web hosting service" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink"&gt;Web Hosting&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=David_Chandler&lt;div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"&gt;&lt;a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/7e61acd8-cb9c-4ea9-881d-8a69ebca94dc/" title="Zemified by Zemanta"&gt;&lt;img style="border: medium none ; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_a.png?x-id=7e61acd8-cb9c-4ea9-881d-8a69ebca94dc" alt="Zemanta Pixie" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4177801537327314113-1927903083492497922?l=proliant-server.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://proliant-server.blogspot.com/feeds/1927903083492497922/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4177801537327314113&amp;postID=1927903083492497922' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4177801537327314113/posts/default/1927903083492497922'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4177801537327314113/posts/default/1927903083492497922'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://proliant-server.blogspot.com/2008/06/advantages-of-dedicated-server.html' title='Advantages of a Dedicated Server'/><author><name>safwan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12135647413933336263</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177801537327314113.post-268710351209354818</id><published>2008-06-23T11:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-23T11:19:38.949-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Server'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Authentication'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Game server'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Security'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FTP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Firewall'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Linux Firewalls'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='RADIUS'/><title type='text'>Server Firewalls</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="zemanta-img" style="DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 1em"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29016769@N00/1447548135"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; DISPLAY: block; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" alt="Exacq at ASIS 2007 2" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1132/1447548135_afa8c22fbf_m.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zemanta-img-attribution" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 1em 0px 0px"&gt;Image by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29016769@N00/1447548135" target="_blank"&gt;exacq&lt;/a&gt; via Flickr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Servers are probably the most vital part of each and every network; thus, the &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Server (computing)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_%28computing%29" rel="wikipedia"&gt;server&lt;/a&gt; itself needs to be protected very well from possible external or internal attacks. There are many server firewalls available on the market, and each one provides it’s very own features and security levels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All server firewalls are deigned to protect the server; some of those firewalls do an excellent job while some of them simply aren’t good enough. What remains is the fact that servers are the first components that need to be secured inside a network.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to achieve &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Security" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security" rel="wikipedia"&gt;high-security&lt;/a&gt; levels, servers should be equipped with sophisticated firewall systems that utilize both software and hardware technologies. A software-only firewall is simply not enough to fulfill the needs of a server. This is not something to be ignored. If the security of the server is compromised, then there are many severe consequences for the whole network.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the best case, the server will be compromised but the intruders will not have enough time to do all they want to; if the administrators of the server are lucky, they will notice the intrusion early enough, and they will most likely take down the server until they resolve the problem. Of course, this means that the services that the server provides will not be available until the hole is fixed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the worst case &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Scenario planning" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scenario_planning" rel="wikipedia"&gt;scenario&lt;/a&gt;, important information will be stolen from the server; automatically, the clients of this server will also become vulnerable. Personal or financial information can be stolen from both the server and the &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Client (computing)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client_%28computing%29" rel="wikipedia"&gt;client&lt;/a&gt; if the security is not tight enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Considering the above scenario, it’s not hard to understand how vital a firewall system is to a server. In order for a secure environment to be provided to the clients, the fundamental blocks of the service have to be secure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Firewall" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewall" rel="wikipedia"&gt;Firewalls&lt;/a&gt; provides detailed information on Firewalls, Free Firewalls, Best Firewalls, Linux Firewalls and more.

Virtual servers typically have their own dedicated operating system that can sometimes vary from the operating system of the server they are on. To a virtual server the rest of the server does not exist. Ten virtual servers on one dedicated server cannot see each other or the server they're on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of this encapsulation or insulation from other hosting accounts on the server, virtual accounts offer a great deal of flexibility where configuration is concerned. A typical &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Virtual private server" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_server" rel="wikipedia"&gt;VPS&lt;/a&gt; or VDS account might come with a certain &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Control panel (engineering)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_panel_%28engineering%29" rel="wikipedia"&gt;control panel&lt;/a&gt; for example. If you wish to use a different control panel you can simply install one through &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Superuser" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser" rel="wikipedia"&gt;root access&lt;/a&gt;. If &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="PHP" href="http://php.net/" rel="homepage"&gt;PHP&lt;/a&gt;, MySQL or other modules are behind the times then you simply upgrade them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note also that you are the server admin. With a &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Shared web hosting service" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_web_hosting_service" rel="wikipedia"&gt;shared hosting&lt;/a&gt; account the server is upgraded by the company and security is maintained by them as well. The same can be said about the server that your virtual dedicated server runs on but not about your virtual dedicated server. Software and security are all your responsibilities making you a miniature server admin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One way of looking at this is that there are things you just have to learn some times. A good virtual server account does usually come with software installed and a certain level of stock security. As long as you do not need to upgrade many times you will be just fine working from a control panel to create new &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Website" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website" rel="wikipedia"&gt;web sites&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One can easily pay $120 to $300 a month USD for a dedicated server. If your site is just starting out many times you won't even come close to using those resources for a bit. If you have the budget for a dedicated server than it's the way to go but if you need a price break then consider virtual server hosting. You can find a decent virtual server account for just under $35 a month USD. If your coming from a typical shared hosting account you will appreciate the difference in performance and flexibility&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Web hosting service" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_hosting_service" rel="wikipedia"&gt;Web Hosting&lt;/a&gt; Reviews and Information - StartLogic Company Profile and Hosting Plans&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Adam_Sullivan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="zemanta-pixie" style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px; HEIGHT: 15px"&gt;&lt;a class="zemanta-pixie-a" title="Zemified by Zemanta" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/dc0839d0-3f54-428b-8c76-61fbec3a067d/"&gt;&lt;img class="zemanta-pixie-img" style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FLOAT: right; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" alt="Zemanta Pixie" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_a.png?x-id=dc0839d0-3f54-428b-8c76-61fbec3a067d" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4177801537327314113-2630417194793688365?l=proliant-server.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://proliant-server.blogspot.com/feeds/2630417194793688365/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4177801537327314113&amp;postID=2630417194793688365' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4177801537327314113/posts/default/2630417194793688365'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4177801537327314113/posts/default/2630417194793688365'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://proliant-server.blogspot.com/2008/06/virtual-dedicated-server-when-dedicated.html' title='Virtual Dedicated Server-When Dedicated is Still Too Much for Your Wallet'/><author><name>safwan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12135647413933336263</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177801537327314113.post-9221709329460168071</id><published>2008-06-15T11:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-15T11:03:36.153-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Server'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Google App Engine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Web Hosting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='World Wide Web'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Web server'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dedicated hosting service'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='VPS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Virtual Private Server'/><title type='text'>Dedicated Servers: Usages and Benefits</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="zemanta-img" style="DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 1em"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Cacti_load_average.png"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; DISPLAY: block; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" alt="A daily graph of a web server's load, indicating a spike in the load early in the day." src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/34/Cacti_load_average.png/202px-Cacti_load_average.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zemanta-img-attribution" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 1em 0px 0px"&gt;Image via &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Cacti_load_average.png" target="_blank"&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; About Dedicated/Private Servers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dedicated Servers or Managed Dedicated Servers is a type of &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Internet hosting service" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_hosting_service" rel="wikipedia"&gt;Internet Hosting&lt;/a&gt; where the client leases an entire Server not shared with anyone.

Server racks are a good option to keep the servers properly, safely, and neatly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Computer server racks basically save space and allow for clean work surface; they are a perfect alternative to traditional computer desks. Usually, most computer server racks are movable and compact. These racks prove to be an efficient resource for storing and displaying computers in a medical, industrial, or commercial environment. Generally computer racks are covered with scratch-proof, powder-coat paint and are made from ten-, twelve-, or fourteen-gauge steel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Computer server racks are fitted with an exhaust fan, which provides splendid ventilation. Computer server racks have some removable parts such as a side panel, doors, etc. The top panel of the &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="19-inch rack" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19-inch_rack" rel="wikipedia"&gt;server rack&lt;/a&gt; helps to prevent foreign substances from entering. Side panels offer security and are available in three options such as louvered, solid removable, and solid fixed. Multimedia equipment, audio devices, and anything that requires a vertical view can be put into a computer server rack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Computer server racks are well suited for all types of computer servers like those from &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Dell" href="http://www.dell.com/" rel="homepage"&gt;Dell&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Hewlett-Packard" href="http://www.hp.com/" rel="homepage"&gt;HP&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="IBM" href="http://www.ibm.com/" rel="homepage"&gt;IBM&lt;/a&gt;. The prices depend upon the sizes of the racks, ranging from $129 to $469. The height of rack is from 76” to 90”, depth is from 30” to 40”, and width is normally 19”. These racks are available in an array of colors like blue, black, pearl white, and light and dark gray.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the growth of computer technology, the demand for server racks is also increasing remarkably.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Server Racks provides detailed information on Server Racks, Computer Server Racks, &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="IBM LAN Server" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_LAN_Server" rel="wikipedia"&gt;LAN Server&lt;/a&gt; Racks, Vertical Server Rack Storage and more.

On the other hand, maybe you know that you require a dedicated &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Game server" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_server" rel="wikipedia"&gt;server&lt;/a&gt;, but really do not know how to choose the right host. Well, either way, this article is filled with information just for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it comes to &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Web hosting service" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_hosting_service" rel="wikipedia"&gt;website hosting&lt;/a&gt;, essentially they provide you with two options dedicated servers or shared servers. What is the difference? Well, shared servers are the type in which you will share the space with other people. Your &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Website" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website" rel="wikipedia"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; and those of other people will share the same server. A &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Dedicated hosting service" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dedicated_hosting_service" rel="wikipedia"&gt;dedicated server&lt;/a&gt; is completely the opposite, every aspect of that server, as well as the network connection is “dedicated” only to your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before choosing a dedicated server, you should have an understanding of the major differences between shared and dedicated. One massive difference is the price. In most cases, a dedicated server will cost you a great deal more than a shared server. Another massive difference is the skill levels required for each. With a shared server, the host typically takes care of administration of the server, which requires little technical skills. On a dedicated server, it is your responsibility to take care of server administration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before deciding if a dedicated server is for you, you should consider the &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Level (computer and video games)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_%28computer_and_video_games%29" rel="wikipedia"&gt;level&lt;/a&gt; of your website. If you operate a &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Small business" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_business" rel="wikipedia"&gt;small business&lt;/a&gt; or a basic website, a dedicated server is likely not the best choice. However, if you have a high traffic, large, and massive website, a dedicated server will be the likely choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, it is important to understand your space needs, reliability, bandwidth, and budget prior to choosing dedicated server website hosting. Generally, a large website, a large &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Business" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business" rel="wikipedia"&gt;company&lt;/a&gt;, with high traffic, may want to consider a dedicated server. A small business, with minimal traffic, will likely want to stick with shared servers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The author is owner &amp;amp; operator of several reliable website hosting sites.For Cheap Website Hosting Visit http://www.myreliablehosting.net today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Blake_C._Hendrickson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="zemanta-pixie" style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px; HEIGHT: 15px"&gt;&lt;a class="zemanta-pixie-a" title="Zemified by Zemanta" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/6bc0b472-7c87-454f-8324-f5be5b8501cc/"&gt;&lt;img class="zemanta-pixie-img" style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FLOAT: right; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" alt="Zemanta Pixie" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_a.png?x-id=6bc0b472-7c87-454f-8324-f5be5b8501cc" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4177801537327314113-5218102383215522520?l=proliant-server.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://proliant-server.blogspot.com/feeds/5218102383215522520/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4177801537327314113&amp;postID=5218102383215522520' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4177801537327314113/posts/default/5218102383215522520'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4177801537327314113/posts/default/5218102383215522520'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://proliant-server.blogspot.com/2008/06/website-hosting-dedicated-servers.html' title='Website Hosting - Dedicated Servers'/><author><name>safwan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12135647413933336263</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177801537327314113.post-3827066925652520870</id><published>2008-06-09T11:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-09T11:09:25.127-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Proxy server'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Client'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paros'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='World Wide Web'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Web server'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Free'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hosted Proxy Services'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Proxying and Filtering'/><title type='text'>What Is The Internet Proxy Server</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="zemanta-img" style="DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 1em"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Inside_and_Rear_of_Webserver.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; DISPLAY: block; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" alt="The inside/front of a Dell PowerEdge web server" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/38/Inside_and_Rear_of_Webserver.jpg/202px-Inside_and_Rear_of_Webserver.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zemanta-img-attribution" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 1em 0px 0px"&gt;Image via &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Inside_and_Rear_of_Webserver.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; The &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="World Wide Web" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web" rel="wikipedia"&gt;Internet&lt;/a&gt; proxy server is the server that is situated between the &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Client (computing)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client_%28computing%29" rel="wikipedia"&gt;client application&lt;/a&gt; and an actual server. The Internet proxy server has the role of intercepting every request to the actual server and see if the request can be fulfilled by it. If that is not possible, then it must forward the request to the other server.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If used in an enterprise &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Internet" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1A9lYC3g-0" rel="youtube"&gt;the Internet&lt;/a&gt; proxy server besides the role that it plays in all situations, also have the role of ensuring control and security. This Internet proxy server is linked to a gateway server. This has the role of separating the network of the enterprise from other networks. The Internet proxy server is also associated with a firewall server that is used to protect the network of the enterprise from any intrusions from the outside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Internet proxy server receives requests from web pages or any other Internet services from the user. Then if the filtering requirements are passed, the Internet proxy server checks its cache for other downloaded pages( this assuming that the Internet proxy server is a &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Web cache" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_cache" rel="wikipedia"&gt;cache server&lt;/a&gt; as well ). If the web pages that are required are then found by the Internet proxy server, they are returned to the user. In this case there is no need for the Internet proxy server to forward the request. In case the &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Web page" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_page" rel="wikipedia"&gt;page&lt;/a&gt; can not be found in the cache, then the Internet proxy server must act as a client as thus use its own &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="IP address" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address" rel="wikipedia"&gt;IP address&lt;/a&gt; to request the web page from other &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Web server" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_server" rel="wikipedia"&gt;servers&lt;/a&gt; that are found on the Internet. When the required page is then returned, the Internet proxy server reports it to the initial request and then it is forwarded to the user.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the users eye, the Internet proxy server seems to be invisible. This is because the request and the response are so quick that the user is under the impression that they are made directly with the Internet server that was addressed. However, this is not the case and the Internet proxy server actually plays a very important part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are two main reasons why Internet proxy servers are used. One is to improve the performance and the second to filter the requests. The Internet proxy server can improve the performance for users, because the Internet proxy server actually saves all the requests that the user has made, thus making Internet operations a lot faster. The second reason why Internet proxy servers are used is to filter requests. This operation might be seen in schools or workplaces, where the employees are not allowed to visit certain &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Website" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website" rel="wikipedia"&gt;web sites&lt;/a&gt;. This can be very easily done by configuring the Internet proxy server that is used.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more resources about Internet &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Proxy server" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server" rel="wikipedia"&gt;Proxy Server&lt;/a&gt; please review this website http://www.19proxy.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Stefan_Jechel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="zemanta-pixie" style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px; HEIGHT: 15px"&gt;&lt;a class="zemanta-pixie-a" title="Zemified by Zemanta" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/748ece0e-cc3c-443e-96d1-a90499cd47a3/"&gt;&lt;img class="zemanta-pixie-img" style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FLOAT: right; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" alt="Zemanta Pixie" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_a.png?x-id=748ece0e-cc3c-443e-96d1-a90499cd47a3" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4177801537327314113-3827066925652520870?l=proliant-server.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://proliant-server.blogspot.com/feeds/3827066925652520870/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4177801537327314113&amp;postID=3827066925652520870' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4177801537327314113/posts/default/3827066925652520870'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4177801537327314113/posts/default/3827066925652520870'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://proliant-server.blogspot.com/2008/06/what-is-internet-proxy-server.html' title='What Is The Internet Proxy Server'/><author><name>safwan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12135647413933336263</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177801537327314113.post-7233597646564060253</id><published>2008-06-08T13:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-08T13:08:24.706-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Computers and Internet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Server'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Web Design and Development'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hosting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Domain name'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dedicated hosting service'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Web hosting service'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Business and Economy'/><title type='text'>Dedicated Server is Better than Shared Server</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="zemanta-img" style="DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 1em"&gt;&lt;a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:My_Opera_Server_Back.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; DISPLAY: block; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" alt="A server used for the My Opera Community" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/My_Opera_Server_Back.jpg/202px-My_Opera_Server_Back.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zemanta-img-attribution" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 1em 0px 0px"&gt;Image via &lt;a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:My_Opera_Server_Back.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Web hosting service" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_hosting_service" rel="wikipedia"&gt;Web host&lt;/a&gt; company offers two options such as shared server space or &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Dedicated hosting service" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dedicated_hosting_service" rel="wikipedia"&gt;dedicated server&lt;/a&gt; at the time of leasing server. Dedicated server is a single &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Web server" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_server" rel="wikipedia"&gt;web server&lt;/a&gt; within a network of computers that is dedicated only to one customer. Mostly large businesses use dedicated servers because it satisfies the requirements of large businesses due to several reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dedicated server is best option instead of shared server because it enables you to install data applications. It offers full control over &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Operating system" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system" rel="wikipedia"&gt;server operating system&lt;/a&gt; and enables the &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Customer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Customer" rel="wikipedia"&gt;customers&lt;/a&gt; to customize hardware as well as &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Computer software" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_software" rel="wikipedia"&gt;software&lt;/a&gt; setup to meet exact requirements. Web host provides hardware of the computer, network connectivity and routing equipment with dedicated server whereas &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Client (computing)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client_%28computing%29" rel="wikipedia"&gt;client&lt;/a&gt; controls and maintains server software.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dedicated server is the best option for the people who want huge amount of data space and bandwidth. These servers offer complete control on entire network. Major advantage of dedicated servers is that it provides each and every &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Server (computing)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_%28computing%29" rel="wikipedia"&gt;service&lt;/a&gt; at the small cost. Sometimes it enables the clients to install desired software with superior flexibility and administrative options. The clients don’t share resources in dedicated server.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These servers offer ability to manage firewalls and password access due to security purposes. Basic requirement to have a dedicated server is technical skill. A person with a great technical knowledge can easily handle all problems of dedicated servers. Dedicated servers are costlier than shared servers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dedicated servers are categorized as managed dedicated servers and unmanaged dedicated servers. Several things such as operating system, hardware options, space and bandwidth are such options that should be considered while selecting dedicated servers .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About Author: Author is the owner of the website on Dedicated Servers.

One question that may bother you once your website is done is whether to go for a dedicated server hosting or not. But first, you have to understand what dedicated service hosting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically, dedicated server hosting is web-hosting solution that allows you to own an entire server. As the name implies, a dedicated server is dedicated solely to you and to your website. But how will you know if that is what you really need?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, you have to determine if it is practical for you to have a dedicated server instead of a web server. Your daily use of the Internet can help you determine this. If your website has more than 3,000 users daily, then it is more practical to have dedicated server hosting. If you notice that your website is slowing down, you should have the more efficient dedicated server.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After determining your need for a dedicated server, you have to decide which one is best for your business. You have to choose either a managed or unmanaged dedicated server. With a managed dedicated server, it is important to have the equipment you need to help you set up and maintain your business. But with an unmanaged dedicated server, you can opt to buy the server and all the equipment you need to run it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So once you have figured out your need for a dedicated server and the right kind for your business, you have to figure out now where to get it. The best place to start your search is to go online. There are now lots of server manufacturers and dealers that will offer you a reliable dedicated server for your website.

Though 99% server uptime may sound good, but is it really and what does it mean?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;99% server uptime means that in a year of 365 days, your server will be up 99% of &lt;br /&gt;the time, which is 361.35 days (365 days x 99%). This is not really good, because &lt;br /&gt;even with 99% uptime your site could be down for 4 days. It would be disastrous if &lt;br /&gt;you owned an online store because even an hour's downtime would cost you. &lt;br /&gt;Imagine, not only lost revenues, but also customers who switched to your &lt;br /&gt;competitors while your site was down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some server uptime examples with calculations showing what the &lt;br /&gt;percentages mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;100% server uptime&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Up = 365 days&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Down = 0 days = 0 hours = 0 minutes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;99.999% server uptime&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Up = 364.9964 days&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Down = 0.0036 days = 0.0876 hours = 5.256 minutes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;99.99% server uptime&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Up = 364.9635 days&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Down = 0.0365 days = 0.876 hours = 52.56 minutes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;99.9% server uptime&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Up = 364.635 days&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Down = 0.365 days = 8.76 hours = 525.6 minutes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;99.8% server uptime&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Up = 364.27 days&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Down = 0.73 days = 17.52 hours = 1051.2 minutes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;99% server uptime&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Up = 361.35 days&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Down = 3.65 days = 87.6 hours = 5256 minutes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can use other tools like ping and traceroute to measure server response times &lt;br /&gt;and hops required to reach your server.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Initial hosting offerings of very low prices bundled with a lot of disk space and &lt;br /&gt;server features may be lucrative, but when it comes to server uptime, you could be &lt;br /&gt;paying a heavy price. If you are just starting off with your own website, then a lower &lt;br /&gt;server uptime like 99% may not affect you much. But as you get more and more &lt;br /&gt;visitors, you should choose a hosting provider with maximum server uptime like &lt;br /&gt;99.999%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sanjib Ahmad - Freelance Writer and Product Consultant for Business.Marc8.com - Business Best Sellers.

When the time comes to purchase additional IT equipment you have to choose between new and refurbished. Which is the best choice for your business?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With so many manufacturers and products in the IT industry, it can be hard to choose the best solution. Many times, businesses will get the most help in the decision making process from an IT equipment dealer who can manage many different brands. They can help you choose the right product for your unique situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The choice between new or refurbished often comes down to price. With refurnished IT equipment you can save 50 – 80 % off the manufacturer's retail price. This equipment has been test and certified to work. In addition, refurnished IT equipment often retains the manufacture warranty or can still be maintained by the original manufacturer. Businesses can save thousands of dollars and still receive top-quality support by choosing to purchase refurbished equipment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the best advantages of working with an IT equipment supplier who deals with refurbished inventory is the ability to find discontinued and rare products. For instance, a local architect had an internal propriety application that needed a specific router to connect to the internet. When the router was no longer usable we tried to find a new router, but were unsuccessful in finding a product that worked with the internal software. Luckily, a refurnished router was quickly found and solved out problems quickly and easily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Often, the best technology comes with a steep price tag. For example, HP Proliant servers are some of the best servers in providing total control, maximum flexibility, and the best savings from your investment. These servers provide easy deployment and configuration as well as superior security against network attacks. Many businesses can not afford to purchase this server technology new. However, by purchasing a Proliant server that has been refurnished and tested to current OEM specifications, a business can own this type of cutting edge technology for a fraction of the price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bossiness should carefully consider refurnished equipment when adding on to their IT infrastructures. They can have the latest technology, save thousands of dollars and still receive manufacture support. While all choice require a careful balancing between price and quality, refurbished IT equipment makes that balancing act easy and cost effective for businesses of every size.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RICOM Inc. offer refurbished servers and network equipment at affordable prices.

This tool is applicable for both server and desktop computers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We built quite a numbers of server monthly to cater for new software deployment and databases roll out in production. Most organization will use disk image cloning software like Norton Ghost for desktop computers and alternatively, you can use HP Proliant Essentials Rapid Deployment for Microsoft Windows or Linux deployment on servers platform.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The advantages of disk cloning is that you does not have to go through the installation process for each and every computer or server. What you need is just an image to clone it over to new hardware.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The disadvantages is that, after cloning, the computer or server will keep the initial Computer Security Identifier (SID). This will give error to some applications like Organisation’s Antivirus software, making the auto updates of Antivirus fails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NewSID from sysinternals will be really handy in this case. What you need to do is just run this tool once in your computer or server after cloned over. It will assigned a new SID to the windows to make you windows a real fresh unit after cloning and you can avoid most of the application error caused by the SID problems, and you shall have no problem on your Antivirus auto updates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://horeki.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Th_Lee&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4177801537327314113-1884764030024796184?l=proliant-server.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://proliant-server.blogspot.com/feeds/1884764030024796184/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4177801537327314113&amp;postID=1884764030024796184' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4177801537327314113/posts/default/1884764030024796184'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4177801537327314113/posts/default/1884764030024796184'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://proliant-server.blogspot.com/2008/05/microsoft-windows-refresh-with-newsid.html' title='Microsoft Windows Refresh With NewSID     By Th Lee'/><author><name>safwan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12135647413933336263</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177801537327314113.post-2213791808416131903</id><published>2008-05-25T11:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-25T11:11:02.243-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Server Hosting</title><content type='html'>Do you have your own website for your online business? Or does your company have a company or e-commerce website to boost your potential market? If you do, you need a service called server hosting in order to have a web server host your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Server hosting is all about serving web pages to viewers upon request. The web server that hosts your website has a unique address so that other computer units that are connected to the Internet will know where to find your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you use server hosting for your website, you have to rent out a space on the web server so you can set up your own website. The web server then assigns an exclusive website address to your website in order to host it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is server hosting important to your online business? The answer is to boost your online presence. Even if your online business starts small, you will eventually get more exposure and your online target market will be aware of your presence. If you have a website but you do not rely on server hosting, how can you possibly make your potential market check your website?&lt;br /&gt;If you want server hosting for your website, you have to consider the reliability of the web server before you avail of the service. You have to make sure that the web server can give you access to many features that you need to run your online business. These features include email systems, virtual storefronts and database development tools. You just have to look at the server’s record, which is supposed to be an uptime of 99.5% or above in order to be considered a reliable web server.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="link_75" href="http://www.e-serverhosting.com/" target="_new"&gt;Server Hosting&lt;/a&gt; provides detailed information on Server Hosting, Dedicated Server Hosting, Web Server Hosting, SQL Server Hosting and more.
