SERVER FARM


Managing and securing numerous distributed servers at various locations within a business network is difficult. so, we used ---> centralizes servers in server farms. Server farms typically located in computer rooms and data centers.

benefits:

  • Network traffic enters and leaves the server farm at a defined point. This arrangement makes it easier to secure, filter, and prioritize traffic.
  • Redundant, high-capacity links can be installed to the servers as well as between the server farm network and the main LAN. This configuration is more cost-effective than attempting to provide a similar level of connectivity to servers distributed throughout the network.
  • Load balancing and failover can be provided between servers and between networking devices.
  • The number of high-capacity switches and security devices is reduced, helping to lower the cost of providing services.
