Stay Informed with Curvature: Understand the Role of x86 Servers in Your Business

Ever wonder about the mysterious world of servers and why they are constantly in the spotlight, from IT managers urgently requesting more to Hollywood hackers ominously infiltrating them? Our latest blog, “Understand the Role of x86 Servers in Your Business,” delves into the realm of x86 servers, shedding light on their significance and how they operate.

Servers, as you might have guessed, “serve” content to users -- much like waiters deliver food at a restaurant. They host everything from social media profiles to internal software tools.

Despite their complicated appearance, servers share many components with your home PC. CPUs, memory, drives -- they are all there. With a bit of tinkering, you could turn your home computer into a makeshift server. However, enterprise-grade servers are engineered to withstand heavy and continuous workloads, a league above your average desktop setup.

Ever wonder how a single server can manage multiple tasks efficiently? Enter virtualization. By installing a hypervisor, you can create virtual machines (VMs) that share the server's resources. This allows for optimal resource utilization, enabling multiple workloads to coexist harmoniously. To dive deeper into these topics, read our blog, “Understand the Role of x86 Servers in Your Business,” and be sure to reach out to our server and storage solutions experts with any questions.
