Servers are essential, and a part of every day lives even though most people don’t realize it. You reading this page is only because of a server. Most phone services uses VOIP technology which uses servers. Your bank keeping track of your account is done with servers. I could go on and on.
For servers in Kaldus, there are a few requirements for any server to be acceptable. First, all servers must use the rack mount U system. A server can be anywhere from 1U – 5U in height. Next, all servers are required to have at least 1 RJ45 port for LAN, and if the server is a network server, then it must have 2 RJ45 ports. In addition, all servers’ RJ45 ports must be 2.5GBPS or better. As with any computer, all servers are required to use USB-C4 for connectivity. A server will also require an HDMI port in case a monitor is required to be attached to it even though most servers do not use monitors, keyboards, and mice.
Any server in the Kaldus education or government systems will use Zorin OS, or FreePBX for telephony communications. With using U configuration servers, everything can be installed in a rack mount, and serve the building’s needs immediately Whereas using another format for servers will require more complexity. For example, there are micro-PCs that run telephony servers. While this will be less power demand, it will require providing a shelf for the server to sit on. It will also require an electrical outlet in a place that wouldn’t have been needed otherwise.
