An Introduction To Bandwidth And Server Load
Two key performance metrics will impact every web site owner sooner or later: bandwidth and server load.Bandwidth is the amount of network capacity available, and the term actually covers two different aspects. 'Bandwidth' can mean the measure of network capacity for web traffic back and forth at a given time. Or, it sometimes is used to mean the amount that is allowed for some interval, such as one month. Both are important.A web designer who also offered services in Microsoft Excel and search engine marketing provided the useful info.
As files are transferred, emails sent and received, and web pages accessed, network bandwidth is being used. If you want to send water through a pipe, you have to have a pipe. Those pipes can vary in size and the amount of water going through them at any time can also vary.
Total monthly bandwidth is a cap that hosting companies place on sites in order to share fairly a limited resource. Companies monitor sites in order to keep one site from accidentally or deliberately consuming all the network capacity. Similar considerations apply to instantaneous bandwidth, though companies usually have such large network 'pipes' that it's much less common for heavy use by one user to be a problem.
Server load is a more generic concept.It often refers, in more technical discussions, solely to CPU utilization. The CPU (central processing unit) is the component in a computer that processes instructions from programs, ordering memory to be used a certain way, moving files from one place to the next and more.
Every function you perform consumes some CPU and its role is so central (hence the name) that it has come to be used as a synonym for the computer itself. People point to their case and say 'That is the CPU'. But, the computer actually has memory, disk drive(s) and several other features required in order to do its job.
Server load refers, in more general circumstances, to the amount of use of each of those other components in total.Disk drives can be busy fetching files which they do in pieces, which are then assembled in memory and presented on the monitor, all controlled by instructions managed by the CPU.Memory capacity is limited. It's often the case that not all programs can use as much as they need at the same time. Special operating system routines control who gets how much, when and for how long, sharing the total 'pool' among competing processes.So, how 'loaded' the server is at any given time or over time is a matter of how heavily used any one, or all, of these components are.
Why should you care? Because every web site owner will want to understand why a server becomes slow or unresponsive, and be able to optimize their use of it.
When you share a server with other sites, which is extremely common, the traffic other sites receive creates load on the server that can affect your site. There's a limited amount you can do to influence that situation. But if you're aware of it, you can request the company move you to a less heavily loaded server. Or, if the other site (which you generally have no visibility to) is misbehaving, it's possible to get them moved or banned.
But when you have a dedicated server, you have much more control over load issues. You can optimize your own site's HTML pages and programs, tune a database and carry out other activities that maximize throughput. Your users will see that as quicker page accesses and a more enjoyable user experience.
Server VS. Desktop CPUs?
Is there a difference and can I put a server cpu in my desktop(assuming they are the same socket and my BIOS is up-to-date)?
The only difference between a server and a desktop is the software installed on it. They use the same hardware.
Escaping legacy IT systems (MIT)
Today, big multinational companies depend heavily on their information
systems. If a company’s internal servers go down for even a few hours, it can
mean millions of dollars in lost productivity. Information technology (IT)
managers are thus reluctant to make changes that could have unforeseen
consequences for network stability; as a result, they often end up saddled
with obsolete software and inefficient network designs.
At the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ (IEEE) Cluster
conference from Sept. 26-30, researchers from MIT’s Department of Civil and
Environmental Engineering (CEE) will unveil what may well be the most
sophisticated computer model of a corporate information infrastructure yet
built, which could help IT managers predict the effects of changes to their
networks. In a study funded by Ford Motor Co., the researchers compared their
model’s predictions to data supplied by Ford and found that, on average, its
estimates of response times for queries sent to company servers were within 5
to 13 percent of the real times.
A server in a corporate data center can be a complex device, with 32, 64 or
even 128 separate processors, all of which are connected to a bank of disk
drives. Servers at ...
