Setting up a free micro-cloud using the Terramaster F2-423
The free and open source software market has made a tremendous leap forward in recent years, so today thousands of companies are using FOSS instead of public clouds. You don't have to buy a huge server to run your micro-cloud, you can set up a lot even on a desktop NAS.
Since about 2015, in our NAS reviews, we have focused on the fact that a modern file server for a small company is primarily the services it provides: advanced collaboration functions, file sharing via the Internet, video ...
Short and clear: which type of Nextcloud installation should I choose - LXC, VM or Docker?
Nextcloud is a popular solution for creating your own cloud data storage. In this article, we will look at various ways to install Nextcloud, their pros and cons. To begin with, there are several ways to install Nextcloud: directly on the server, in a virtual machine, in Docker manually or in Docker via the automatic AIO stack. You can also install Nextcloud in an LXC container.

Lenovo ThinkAgile VX3320 review - a hyperconverged solution for simplified enterprise-wide vSAN deployment
Hyperconverged systems are rapidly gaining popularity and are already becoming the standard for building virtualization platforms in the corporate environment. Lenovo has released a special series of servers for installing and running VMware vSAN with tools for simplified administration and deployment at the customer's facility.
The ideology of hyperconvergent solutions using VMware technologies has its advantages: this is a relatively low cost at the start, and the ability to scale almost ...
Review of Lenovo ThinkEdge SE50 and SE30-industrial and peripheral PCs based on Core i7 with passive cooling
These are universal computers that can simultaneously be used in production, at peripheral facilities, and are equally well suited for PC-controlled equipment, for building control rooms, laboratories, and engineering workplaces. No moving parts concept, 4G/LTE support with eSIM, DIN rail mount and RS232 ports.
The development of robotics and automation of workplaces today has led to the fact that the OT industry (short for operational technologies), which includes a system for receiving ...
Review of the 4-CPU Lenovo SR860 V2 server based on Intel Xeon Cooper Lake
A very interesting server with a price of $ 1M, created for SAP HANA and applications with high RAM consumption. Here, the processors are located one above the other, there are 3 TB of memory, 4 power supplies, monitoring with predictive analysis of breakdowns and 48 storage slots.
Today we are testing a very special server from the family of vertically scalable x86 systems. The Lenovo SR860V2 quad-processor is designed to handle mission-critical workloads such as transactional and resident ...

EPYC hosting: exploring how AMD is changing the VDS hosting market
Today, hosters can place up to 1024 virtual machines on one machine, which allows them to dump, increasing their client base in a highly competitive environment. We'll explore why AMD's 64-core EPYC processors are at the heart of a new look at VDS.
The data center market demonstrates double-digit growth y/y together with the incessant exponential growth of information on the Internet. Today, own “VDS-point in the cloud” has become as commonplace for modern active people as a credit card ...
How water displaces air in Lenovo supercomputers
A couple of years ago, the maximum air cooling limit was 600W per unit. Today, it is theoretically possible to divert up to 1.2 kW per unit using air. However, in the future, you will need to allocate 2 KW, and you can't do without liquid cooling.
Today, there is a steady trend to extract the maximum power from each computing unit of the data center. Users want to see more and more local disk storage inside data center nodes, and circulatory data transfer systems that combine cluster ...
What CPU uses Cloudflare: intel not inside!
The heaviest loads on the CloudFlare network are Firewall and serverless services, which makes CPU the most expensive item in The cloudflare server budget. The company's approach to server design is very different from traditional content delivery networks designed for large object video libraries, and the 10th generation of servers meets these requirements.
We designed and built the Cloudflare network in such a way that we could quickly and inexpensively increase bandwidth; so that any of our ...
How memory encryption in AMD EPYC 7000 works, or how it protects your cloud
How SME, TSME and SEV technologies work, what security threats they protect, what hypervisors they support, how bugs are closed, and what software developers and cloud providers think about it. We brought in experts, sorted out the issue and ran performance tests
Let’s give a simple analogy: if your company’s data is money, then earlier the physical server on which they were stored was a protected safe: a closed piece of iron with a password, located behind three locks and under protection. ...
