Each company has a dedicated room. When you open the door you are struck by the roaring noise and the intermittent lights that fan up and down from one side to the other, yellow, green and red. No, this is not a spaceship landed nearby and stealthily hidden to preserve it from prying eyes and hands. It is the server , the heart of businesses, the core of any activity that relies on an IT infrastructure.
But what is a server ? Why is it so important? The term “server” derives from English, from the verb “to serve” which means “to serve”. So literally the “server” is a “servant”, an “orderly”. And who or what is actually served by the server? It is the clients that make requests and are granted, that is, components that access the services and resources offered by the server.
Therefore, in IT and telecommunications the server is a hardware or software structure that processes and manages information. With its activity, at a logical and physical level, the server provides services to the components that send requests through the medium of a computer network , in the context of a computer system, or locally on a computer.
On the one hand, the server. On the other, the clients. A single vassal, and many feudal lords. The server is a terminal node of the network which is placed at the other end of the structure defined as “client host”. In simple terms, it can be said that the server is basically a computer or a program that makes certain resources available to other computers. The entity defined as “server” corresponds to both hardware components, ie very powerful computers, and software components capable of providing data and services.
The server is part of a structure that operates in a game of relationships that consist of questions and requests and the provision of services and information. This is the so-called logical network architecture which is defined at the application level as “client-server”.
On the basis of these premises, it is easy to understand how the server in the IT network of a company is the basis of all the information and procedures that substantiate its activity. The ‘ Support for HP products or other brands is thus, essential when it comes to dip into their servers .

Support for HP and other brands: the difference between physical and logical server levels
Before delving into the cases that fall within the territory of assistance for HP products and other complex brands such as servers, it is necessary to understand why in the organization of a server it is possible to distinguish a physical level and a logical level. The opposition between the physical and logical planes has to do with writing data to the server’s hard drives.
The writing of data takes place according to an organization. It is here that the difference between physical and logical level is important. In fact, to store digital information on hard disks, a preliminary formatting work is necessary with the choice of a specific logical archiving system, which is called the file system . Thanks to the logical architecture of the file system, the operating system can write and access data.
Thus the logical level of the server is clarified. Let’s move on to defining what the physical plane is, the next order that completes the storage of resources within the server. An allocation scheme is used for physical data storage. It is an organizational tool that allows you to easily reach the area where data on disk is to be read or written. The abbreviation CHS is the acronym for one of the most popular allocation systems. Stands for: Cylinder / Head / Sector, ie “cylinder”, “head”, “sector”.
Support for HP and other brands: when to take action on the server
The first case in which assistance for HP products and other complex brands such as servers is fundamental occurs when there are malfunctions. Difficulties can affect servers at different levels. In fact, hardware failures or systemic problems may occur. In this second case, the defect can affect one of the functions for which the server is responsible.

Broken hardware
Hardware failures are of various types. Physical or logical failure of hard drives may occur. Another possibility is the failure of the motherboard or the power supply or the disk controller.
Drawbacks of a systemic nature
The drawbacks of a systemic nature that affect the servers are of various kinds, precisely because of the role that a server plays in a computer network. In fact, several functions can be affected. This is because a server can be used to cope with multiple activities. A systemic malfunction can therefore be expressed as failure to activate or faulty activation of one of the procedures that make up those activities.
A server is able to perform even extremely diversified functions: there are servers for sharing corporate files, mail servers, management servers, servers that function as firewalls, servers that function as VOIP telephone switchboards. When a systemic inconvenience occurs one of these activities will be interrupted or will function incorrectly.
Systemic problems can consist of malfunctions of Windows Server or of any other application installed on the server.
Support for HP and other brands on the server: new implementations
The ‘ Support for HP and other brands of complex products such as servers is crucial when a company opens a new office IT infrastructure and must provide it or want to replace all of its old servers.
Which server to choose for your company?
Choosing the right server for your company must be made on the basis of the number and type of applications to be run. The number of clients that will interface with the server is also a variable to consider. There are applications that require a low level of processing which can be well supported by relatively inexpensive machines. Examples of such applications are those that perform the function of print server and Microsoft Office file sharing.
On the other hand, there are also business needs that determine the need to rely on more powerful servers. The hosting of important databases or a large number of images organized in libraries requires having machines capable of coping with complex processing and with capacious hard disks, fast and suitable network channels.
