Rack mount computers are essentially computer servers. Computer
servers are not the ones you play games on or send emails to
your friends with.
Servers perform a small number of specialized operations, some
as little as a single operation, but they have the ability to
perform it millions of times over and over again, quickly and
flawlessly. And when one server is no longer adequate to handle
the volume of transactions that a business may require, other,
bigger, more powerful servers are needed. When the new servers
arrive, they are networked into the system and to save space,
are mounted on racks.
When the business with the servers is a steel company, or an
automobile manufacturer, industrial rac mount computers are the
standard. Stored in rugged steel frames, stackable in standard
19-inch racks, industrial rack mount computers are used for
database servers, web servers and networks. Furthermore they are
also quite commonly used in laboratory and workshop
environments.
Linux is a special operating system that is basically a version
of Unix, which has become the foundation of the Internet. When
ISP’s like AOL and others came into existence, the amount of
servers they needed to accommodate millions of customers eager
to surf the web was staggering. In order to make space for that
amount of computers, a special rack mounted unit was created to
hold the Linux servers. Dubbed the Linux Rack mount Computer
system, it became the choice for all of the new Internet
businesses all over the world. Soon after, manufacturers of the
Linux Rack mount Computer racks where inundated with orders and
quickly fell behind schedule.
It took a while for Intel to catch up with it’s rivals, but once
they did, the Xeon Rack mount Computers quickly overtook
everyone else in the field and became the gold standard among
all of the rack mounted computers being installed.
