title Introduction

Computer room equipment is the foundation for building a digital computer room. They are responsible for processing, storing and transmitting data to ensure the normal operation of the computer room and the security of data. There are many types of computer room equipment, mainly including the following categories:

1. Server

Definition: A server is a high-performance, highly stable, high-quality computer with large storage space and fast data processing. It is responsible for processing information of various network interactions. It is the key equipment for the operation of the business system and the core of the computer room and the soul of the network.

Function: Used to store, process and provide various network services, such as Web servers, application servers, database servers, etc.

2. Storage devices

Definition: Storage devices are used for data storage and backup to ensure the security and recoverability of data.

Type: Including hard disk arrays, tape libraries, etc.

3. Network equipment

Switch: There are many types such as Ethernet switches and fiber optic switches. It is responsible for dividing a port into multiple ports for connecting multiple computers. It is a key device for communication transmission.

Router: A device used to connect to a local area network or a wide area network. It can automatically select and set routes to send signals in the best way.

Hardware gateway: also known as network connector, protocol converter, it realizes network interconnection above the network layer, is the most complex network interconnection device, and is only used for interconnection of two networks with different high-level protocols.

4. Backup equipment

Definition: Backup equipment is used for data backup and recovery to ensure that data can be quickly restored in case of system failure or data loss.

5. Power supply equipment

AC power supply: The city power is introduced into the computer room, which usually provides power for the operation of various equipment in the computer room, and distributes power through distribution boxes, distribution cabinets, PDU and other equipment.

DC power supply: such as UPS power supply, battery and other equipment, responsible for ensuring that the power supply to the computer room equipment can be timely after the external city power outage, ensuring the normal operation of each hardware equipment.

6. Environmental control equipment

Air conditioning equipment: divided into central air conditioning, commercial air conditioning, precision air conditioning and other types, used to adjust the computer room environment, such as temperature, humidity, etc., is the core equipment for environmental control such as heat dissipation, cooling, dehumidification.

Ventilation equipment: cooperate with air conditioning equipment to ensure air circulation in the computer room and prevent equipment from overheating.

7. Monitoring and alarm equipment

Monitoring equipment: used to monitor the working status and environmental parameters of the equipment in the computer room in real time, such as temperature, humidity, power and network status.

Alarm equipment: including smoke alarms, water leakage alarms, etc., which can issue alarms in time when abnormal situations occur to ensure the safety of the computer room.

8. Other equipment

Cabinets: used to place and organize equipment in the computer room to ensure that the layout of the equipment is reasonable and easy to maintain.

KVM switch: used to remotely manage servers and improve operation and maintenance efficiency.

Fiber jumpers, network jumpers: used to connect equipment to ensure smooth data transmission.

Wire management/patch panels: used to connect customers and servers, manage cables, and keep the computer room clean and orderly.

In summary, there are many types of equipment in the computer room, and each type of equipment maintains the normal operation of the computer room and the security of data. With the continuous development of technology, computer room equipment is also constantly upgraded and improved to meet the needs of higher performance, greater safety, and greater energy saving.
