What is a multifunctional service?

The ability server can provide all-round network services needed by enterprises through one server, including e-mail, enterprise website, web service, FTP file transfer, file sharing, project management system, network office system and other common Internet service requirements. At the same time, it can be seamlessly integrated with the existing system of the enterprise to ensure the investment of the enterprise and the use of the original system. Adopt a variety of security mechanisms to solve the problems of network security and network management services, and ensure the internet security and data security of enterprises.

At present, there are not many manufacturers producing multifunctional servers in the market, and their functions are different, so there is no complete standard. Take Shenzhen Yixun Space-time "istation Enterprise E Station" as an example, including system applications (backup, recovery, update, initialization, automatic upgrade, etc. ) and network applications (PPPoE/DHCP /FTP, firewalls, routers, network management and traffic. DDNS, virtual private network, etc. ), software applications (company website, online shop, corporate email, instant messaging, corporate SMS, network fax, VoIP, OA/CRM, etc. ).

Multifunctional servers can save users huge expenses such as website construction, applying for mailbox space, purchasing management software, office equipment, firewalls, routers, etc. If combined with the platform, it can also realize customized functions such as online marketing, industry information subscription and website traffic analysis. Help enterprises analyze the effectiveness of website promotion and present professional industry information on the computer desktop on time and effectively every day. OA and CRM collaborative office software closely combined with e-mail system can help enterprises improve their management level and IT competitiveness in the information age. Therefore, it should be a good choice for small enterprises to choose multifunctional servers.

At present, servers are divided into two categories according to the architecture:

ISC (reduced instruction set) architecture server: This is a server that uses RISC chips and mainly uses UNIX operating system, such as SPARC of Sun Company, PA-RISC of HP Company, Alpha chip of DEC Company and MIPS of SGI Company.

IA architecture server: also known as CISC (Complex Instruction Set) architecture server, commonly known as PC server, is a server based on PC architecture and using Intel or its compatible processor chips, such as Lenovo's Wanquan series and HP's Netserver series servers.

Judging from the current network development, the PC server based on IA has been widely used because of its "small, intelligent and stable" characteristics.
