Servers are the backbone of any server room, whether it pertains to a large data center or a small branch office.

Single processor servers
In the case of small and medium-sized businesses, single processor servers are the most common choice. They are sufficiently efficient and cost-effective. Additionally, they tend to outperform PCs, as they are built with dedicated server components compatible with server operating systems, can be equipped with doubled or multiplied power supplies, and operate efficiently in continuous mode.
Usage of single processor servers
Single processor servers have a wide range of applications, but it’s important to choose specific models based on actual needs. This hardware is used in areas such as:
- file server (data storage)
- print server (handling all printing-related tasks from formatting to reporting)
- web server (providing access to websites)
- FTP server (used for transferring “heavier” files such as graphics)
- application server (for a single application used jointly by small user groups)
How do single processor servers differ?
Individual servers differ in characteristics and key parameters. One of the differences is the assembly method. A single processor server can be housed in a standing enclosure/case (Tower) or installed in a RACK cabinet. The Tower solution is more suitable for smaller server rooms, while RACK server cabinets are effective because they allow to save space. RACK cabinet sizes vary, allowing customization to meet client needs.
Using a basic configuration, you can select an appropriate processor (e.g., from 4 to 8 cores) and RAM memory (8, 16, 32, 64 GB), which determines data processing speed. Different models also vary in the number of available RAM slots. The server’s disk storage capacity depends on the choice of suitable disks, another area where it’s important not to skimp. Typically, single-processor servers have 4-6 disks. In some server rooms there are units installed that are equipped with disks measured not in gigabytes but in terabytes. RAID controllers are also crucial because they ensure the continuity of a server’s job even if individual disks fail (when configured in the appropriate RAID level).
eterio’s single processor servers
Eterio’s single processor servers are not only a reliable but also an economical option. They are efficient and utilize energy-saving technology. They can be configured to perform well even with tasks that require higher computational power. However, if you need equipment for special tasks and are concerned that single processor servers may not be sufficient for you, you can opt for dual processor servers, quad processor servers, or multi-node servers.
Dual-Processor Servers
Dual-processor servers are a versatile solution suitable for any server room, regardless of its application. They are ideal for typical uses (such as web hosting or file servers) as well as for performing special tasks. Dual-processor servers can offer greater computing power than single-processor servers, resulting in better scalability. Check out our offer.
Applications of Dual-Processor Servers
Dual-processor servers are versatile because they have many applications. They are most commonly used for:
- virtualization,
- email systems,
- data collection/storage/backup/archiving,
- message handling,
- video streaming,
- VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure),
- private cloud,
- HPC (High-Performance Computing),
- Artificial Intelligence.
Characteristics of dual-processor servers
Typically, the first criterion when choosing a dual-processor server is the chassis. For larger spaces or small server rooms, a traditional freestanding Tower case is often sufficient. More efficient models, which save space, are those that can be mounted in RACK cabinets.
The configurator offers processors with varying performance and inter-processor connections, ranging from AMD EPYC 7252 with 8 cores, 3.1GHz, and 64MB cache to AMD EPYC 7702 with 64 cores, 2.0GHz, and 256MB cache. Dual-processor servers have more RAM slots compared to single-processor servers. Their capacity depends on the number and type of selected drives. These servers are also equipped with RAID controllers and HBA. Other variable parameters include the types of network cards and Fibre Channel cards (included in some servers). The hardware runs on Windows Server. When selecting dual-processor servers, energy efficiency should be considered. More powerful equipment generally consumes more power.
eterio dual-processor servers
Looking for reliable dual-processor servers from a trusted manufacturer? Eterio uses advanced technology and high-quality materials. This ensures that the servers we offer are not only fast and spacious but also highly reliable. For larger server rooms, four-processor servers or multi-node servers can be considered. In smaller server rooms, reliable single-processor servers are usually sufficient.
