Servers are usually divided into three or four categories in terms of shape, size, and other physical or so-called form factors: Tower servers; Rack mounts servers; and Blade servers. 

Sometimes a fourth type of microserver is also added to the list. The difference between standalone, rack mount, blade and microserver servers, and their advantages and disadvantages, each have different application domains.

For example, Rack mounts 

standalone servers are typically used in networks with fewer clients and requests, and rack mount and blade servers in environments with more clients and requests.
But what is the difference between standalone servers, rack mounts, blades and microservers, and what are their advantages and disadvantages? Which environments and applications are best suited for each of these servers?

What is a Server?

In the domain of networking, it is a computer server that provides services to other computers, so-called clients. For example, when you go to the site of your survey and enter your personal details to see your test report, you are in fact a client requesting information from the site’s servers.

The organization’s servers receive and process your request and respond to you accordingly. Rack mounts The number and strength of a network’s servers depends on the size and volume of services they have to offer.

Accordingly, servers are divided into three or four main groups in terms of their physical dimensions and form: Tower servers, Rackmount servers, Blade servers and Microservers. Each of these servers is different in terms of efficiency, cost, manageability and the space they occupy.

Figure 1. Clustering servers by physical characteristics; Left to right: Standing server, Rack server, Blade server, and Micro server


What is a Tower Server?

Standing server is the simplest type of server and its compartment resembles a case of a PC. Usually, each compartment is a server device and accommodates all the server requirements.

So if you need ten Rack mounts  servers, for example, you probably have to tweak ten of these compartments, which obviously takes up a lot of space.

For this reason, organizations and businesses that have many clients and need to provide more services usually do not go to standalone servers.

Stand-alone servers are generally less expensive and cheaper, although expensive types are also produced that can handle multiple tasks at once and some heavy tasks.

Standing servers, such as desktops, are extensible. That is, depending on the needs of the environment and the capacity of the server compartment, memory and processing resources and storage can be increased or reduced.

Figure 2. Standing server


The Benefits of Standing Servers Rack mounts

  • It is easier to upgrade or customize standing servers.
  • Standing servers are usually cheaper.
  • There is more space between the components of standing servers and they are not too dense. It is therefore easier and less expensive to cool standing servers.

Disadvantages of standing servers

  • Standing servers take up a lot of space and are difficult to manage physically.
  • Standby servers are usually less power efficient and are suitable for environments where clients and services are limited.
  • The equipment and accessories are connected to the standing servers via cable. As the number of equipment and parts per server increases, the number of cables becomes even more difficult to manage.

What is a Rack Server or Rack mount Server?

If an organization or business needed more powerful servers to take up less space, it could think of Rack or Rackmount servers. In the structure of a racket, the servers are powerful, compact, standalone computers that fit into a cage called a rack.

If one server requires checking or switching, the entire network usually doesn’t need to be shut down or shut down; simply unplug the same server and check it out. Rack mount servers are denser than standalone servers, as each rack contains several servers, so they take up less space.

Of course, cooling down Rackmount servers is also more complicated and sometimes more expensive.

The size of the racks is standard and is measured in units of (U). Each unit is 44.45 mm (1.75 inches). In addition to servers, network equipment and accessories can also be installed in the rack.

Manufacturers of network equipment must also adhere to these standards in order for their products to be enclose in racks.

Like standalone servers, Rackmount servers are extensible,

and any organization can vary the number and capacity of servers and requirements within each rack depending on their needs, while servers themselves have extensible architectures,

and some parts of them, including memory, are adaptable.

Rackmount servers are cleaner than standalone cabling servers, but they are still large in size, as each server requires power cables, network cables,

and separate cables, and if one rack contains 42 rackmount servers, for example. That requires a lot of cable.

Figure 3. A number of high racks are arranging together. Multiple Rackmount systems and servers are screwed to the right rack.


The Benefits of Rackmount Servers

  • Rackmount servers are denser than standby servers and take up less space.
  • Rack mount servers are generally more powerful than standby servers.
  • It is easy to identify, disassemble, and replace a faulty server in racks, and it is often not necessary to shut down or shut down all servers.
  • Rack management arrangements have made it easier to organize cables on rack-mounted servers than stand-alone servers.

Disadvantages of Rackmount Servers

  • Each Rackmont server has its own coolant. In addition, each rack also has a separate cooling system. However, the higher the rack and the higher the number of servers inside the rack, the more difficult it is to ventilate and cool the servers. For this reason, air conditioning and cooling rack servers require more precision and cost.
  • As each rack contains multiple servers, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain them as the number of racks increases.

On standalone servers, each container is actually a server, but on rack mount servers, each container or rack can contain multiple servers.

However, engineers came up with another way to reduce the server space needed to address some of the previous weaknesses, and blade servers were emerging.


What is a Blade Server?

A blade server, sometimes referred to as a hybrid rack server, is the most advanced type of server and takes up less space.

The structure of the blade servers is modular. Each server is a standalone module that sits next to other servers in a container called a blade chassis.

Each chassis can have multiple servers depending on its size. In addition to servers, other electronic equipment such as storage systems, batteries, etc. can be housed in the chassis.

The servers are usually placing vertically (library) side by side on chassis shelves. The size of the blade chassis is also determined by the unit standard (U) like a rack.

Figure 4. The blade servers are modularly mounting in the blade chassis.

One of the important benefits of blade servers is their hotplates, which means that to add new servers or components, it is often not necessary to shut down or restart the entire system.

Blade servers are very suitable for use in data centers due to their low power and less space. The power and efficiency of blade servers are more than two types, so they are also used in distributed computing or grid computing.

Blade server cabling is also more organized. On Rackmount servers, each server requires separate power cables, network cables, and separate cables, but on blade servers all chassis servers work with only one common cable set.

The benefits of blade servers

  • Blade servers have a simpler, more compact infrastructure, making it easier to balance server traffic and manage errors.
  • The management of blade servers is centralizing, meaning that all blades can be connecting with only one interface. As a result, blade servers are easier to maintain and monitor.
  • Blade servers have less and more regular cabling.
  • Blade servers are the smallest and most compact type of servers and therefore take up less space.
  • The Blade servers are powerful and produce more heat as they are denser than standing and rack mount servers. But since each chassis has a common cooling system, cooling and air conditioning are not expensive and expensive.

The disadvantages of blade servers

  • It is easy to update and manage a blade server,
  • but it is difficult to configure or configure it in complex environments.
  • If the blade chassis cooling that is sharing between all servers of that chassis suddenly fails, the performance of all servers on that chassis will be impair.
  • The blade servers of each company can only be install in the same chassis make by the same company, but standalone and standalone servers can be use by different company components.

What is a Microserver?

Sometimes the server is considered to be the fourth type of server in terms of shape and size. Micro servers are small servers that are designed as “chip-based systems”, meaning that different components run on the microchip instead of the main board.

Manufacturers deploy and configure the operating system,

software and hardware needed to run the microserver, and each server is a standalone device.

Because microcontrollers have a flexible configuration, they can be deployed in a variety of areas, and even build a small data center, even bringing together multiple devices.

Figure 5. A set of microservers inside the server compartment


Micro servers are cheaper than standalone and blade servers,

and even cheaper to stand and install and maintain, but they have less processing power.

These servers are easily clustered and are suitable for tasks that do not require multiple processors. Micro servers are often used in small and medium-sized businesses, but are also useful for small or temporary work in data centers.

Figure 6. One microserver containing eight hard drives


Conclusion

Generally,

the cost and computing power of microcontrollers is less than the other three types

and is usually uses in small to medium environments. If the clients that need to be backed up are not large and there is little computing power required, stand-by servers start up.

If more computing power is needed and at least 4 to 25 servers need to be provided, Rack mounts servers may be a better choice.

But if the needs are greater than that, the number of clients is large and many applications need to be managed, blade servers are more appropriate.

Blade servers are not suitable for everything, so consider the costs and scale of work before you buy. Some recommend that you only go to blade servers when at least 16 server devices are needed.

Edit Server in Infecting People with SubSeven http://wiki.shopingserver.com/edit-server-in-infecting/ http://wiki.shopingserver.com/edit-server-in-infecting/#respond Fri, 01 Feb 2019 18:32:13 +0000 http://wiki.shopingserver.com/?p=22633 Edit Server in Infecting People with SubSeven,  this is the tool which you will use to configure the server. Now Fist of all open up the edit server, it will give you tEdit Server in Infecting People with SubSevenwo options. Advanced Mode or normal Mode.

We will talk of Normal mode because its easy to use.

 

it will bring to you a menu of server settings. Which will be like that

Server Settings:

 

In port its ok to use port 27374  this will be the port which subseven will open in the victims computer

or use the option use random port it means that server will open different port every time when it will start up

this option is good in the case it will prevent your victim to be scanned out through port scanners or by some other means ..but you have to completely rely on the notifications which you will set. There are no other means to be notified .You can protect the port by a password retype the password for confirmation

Now set the victims name ..just as to remember who is he….just as set it to john smith ..or my victim. or any thing as it…Also protect the server by a password. type the password in the field “Protect password” and retype for confirmation.

Now the options. Use melt server the server will be self deleted when it has been successfully executed by the victim.

Or use wait for reboot means that server will get be deleted after successful execution after the restart.

You can specify a file name by which the server fill evil be saved in the victims computer. its better if u choose random file name so as the antivirus programs may not detect coz of its default name.

Startup Methods:

Now click on the start up methods tab and it will bring the following menu to u.

 

Start up means that server will be activated when every time our victim starts his or her computer.

now its recommended that you leave the default settings as it is. Or

registry run services is a good method for start up coz it is hidden from the Ctrl+alt+Delelte menu.

(Note: Run is visible)

Key name is the name by which the file will be written in the windows registry.

Notifications:

These are the methods by which the server will notify you that the victim is online with his/her ip address

 

you can add ICQ notification or mail notification options coz they are easy .or use the IRC notify and put the server port and the destination to which you will be notified.

To add a notification click on the notification type(eg add email notify)

SIN means static ip notification there is a utility in ur subseven directory named as sin start it and when victim comes online it changes its colour.You can also use the CGI notification.

(NOTE:I recommed You the ICQ or email notify coz they are easy to use)

Binded Files:

 It means that if you wana to send server to a specified victim as you picture so you cans bind the picture with this option.

 

This option is used only used to betray your victim so as he or she wont think it is a sort of a hacking program so as he cant say to you that your picture is not opening or some thing like that…..

Just as to not let them even think that it is a trojan.Click on the add executed file so as to add a file which will be executed as server is execcuted. Such as your picture. use the optoin add extracted file means the file will be extracted but wont be executed.

NOTE:File can be of any extention its not necessary that it is of exe extension

Plugins:

 This is the option which is used so as bind a plug in the server.plugins are the sort of files that are used by the server to under stand some of the operations properly …eg you can use get password command but you have to used s7password plugin so as to let server to get passwords.

 

You can use any of the plugin to do a specified feature. its better if upload plugins to ur website and then add the method :add web plugins” and put the address of the plugin. also the binding of plugins with it increases it size, which can let your victim to be suspicious and hesitant to accept a bigger file..

Also you can upload the plugin when you connect to your victim.

Restrictions:

This feature allows you to restrict certain commands. And it will reject every other command. Its basically a command filter.

 

This feature is basically used to restrict server to certain limits,

so it will reject every command other than, the specified. you an add or remove restrictions from the server by using the button “Add Allowed Features” and delete the added feature by selecting and then pressing the delete button.

Email:

This feature is used to catch the victims computer password and the pressed keys. What ever the victim will write ,weather a password or any other text it will be saved by the server and n connection to the internet ,

the server will mail you all the stored data.

 

This feature requires Password plugin and the key plugins

Note: some user may have noticed that this portion of the sub7 have bugs so it doesn’t send the password or pressed keys to you. Also remember you can upload the plugins to the victims computer when you connect to it.

Exe Icons/Others:

This is one of the important part of configuring the server coz here you can change the server’s icon and

also enable the fake error message( note: fake error is a dummy error which will be appeared when it will be executed.)

You can configure it by checking the check box “enable fake error” and then press the button configure fake error message.

 

Now there is one more important feature in it “Download from the Web” just hit add file

and put the complete url of the file

so that after execution the server will download the specified file and will execute it. Its pity simple

Also one of the most important feature “change server icon”,

to do so check the check box and select the icon of your own wish.

Note:

You can make icon look like a jpg file (as in the above figure).

Jsut hit button load from the file and browse  to the directory of internet explorer

and select the file Iexplore.exe and its icon will be given to you,

so just grab the icon of jpg file.

Saving Server:

just use this button and save it to your desired place and now it is ready for his first flight.

just send it to the victims, and then you can have fun with their computer.

Server Security Issues http://wiki.shopingserver.com/server-security-issues/ http://wiki.shopingserver.com/server-security-issues/#respond Mon, 28 Jan 2019 20:06:50 +0000 http://wiki.shopingserver.com/?p=22540 writing this section scares the britches off us, so we want to start with a warning: There are many security measures you can

(and should) take when setting up your own server.

However, the only way to make your server truly secure is to never connect it to the Internet in the first place. Of course, if you want to reach the public,

this is not an option. We will also put ourselves on the line here by saying: No matter what precautions you take,

there is always the possibility that a hacker will find a way into your system.

Keep this in the forefront of your mind when connecting your server to any of your internal systems. Though it is very handy to make certain up-to-date information available from your mainframe,

it can leave you wide open to security breaches. If you are planning this route, and have sensitive information you wish to protect,

we suggest you enlist the aid of a top-notch network security specialist.

there is some information you should know now,

while setting up your server, which we discuss here. Keep in mind that in dealing with site security,

you are not only trying to guard your system from hackers,

but also from innocent users accidentally messing with your system.

Firewalls

 

A firewall is a damage prevention and security system usually used by companies connecting to the Internet and Wide Area Networks (WANs). A firewall consists of code that aliases, blocks, or hides the firewalled computer from being identified by any other computer on the network. Well-constructed firewalls discourage hackers and help to prevent industrial espionage and sabotage. Firewalls are also used to prevent novice users from accessing commands and services that could jeopardize the integrity of the system.

There are basically three distinct firewall strategies: embedded systems, router-based packet filtering, and proxy servers.

Embedded Systems

 

This is a real-time firewall that supplies the security of a proxy server while at the same time delivering the added bonus of high-performance packet filtering. This means a real-time firewall system can provide the performance to support up to 100 times more users than a proxy server. In addition, it has no operating system or disk for hackers to mess with, requires no maintenance, and can be very simple to install. The down side is that these systems can be very expensive and serve only this very specific function.

Router-Based Packet Filtering

 

Most commercial routers (such as the Cisco we mentioned earlier) have packet-filtering capabilities. Based on rules defined by the administrator, packet filtering enables the router to permit and deny traffic. After a packet is passed through the router, the packet filter forgets the information, as well as the connection associated with it. Think of them as traffic cops with Alzheimer’s. These systems are usually the least expensive; they are also high-performance and transparent. Some people do, however, say that they can be very complex and difficult to work with.

Proxy Servers

 

A proxy server is a single point of contact for Internet access for the client. The proxy server generally resides on a specific port, waiting for connections from clients on the network. When a client sends a message to the proxy server indicating where he or she wishes to connect, the proxy proceeds by making the connection to the specified destination. Since the proxy uses the proxy host’s TCP/IP, it is aware of every connection in process and will drop packets that don’t meet its high standards.

You see, a proxy spends its life doing the very basic job of reading from one side and writing to the other. Think of it as a voyeur with an attitude. A proxy server is also multifunctional, since it runs on a general-purpose operating system, so it can provide many additional services to your internal network. The main disadvantages of these systems are that they’re difficult to set up, and that the speed of the system suffers under heavy usage.

Separating Your Systems

 

The simplest way to deal with these security issues is to use separate servers for your internal and external communications, and to never connect the two. You will lose the advantage of interconnecting your systems, but this challenge can often be overcome by manually updating the external server on a regular basis. Consider doing this if security is a major concern.

Quick and Dirty Guide: Turn-key Server Packages

 

Knowing the confusion many face in setting up servers, some astute companies offer “complete” server packages. One such product is WebCube (http://www.pacnet.com/pacnet/wcube/home.html). WebCube (see Figure 6.8) includes most of what you need for your own server (besides the actual connections).

There are also companies that offer turn-key server packages and promise total setup of your server. If you are looking to set up a server under a time constraint, and your budget is not a major concern, one of these solutions may be your answer. Some of these are listed at http://www.yahoo.com/Business_and_Economy/Companies/Computers/Networking/Consulting/.

Summary

 

In this chapter we have discussed various server issues and how you can choose to develop your own server or purchase a turn-key server package.

We have also covered some of the different software, hardware, and connection choices you will need to make,

as well as the security issues involved in running your very own server.

Now it’s time to move on to Part II of this book,

“Designing a Site that Succeeds.” Roll up your shirt sleeves, and let’s get started!

HTTPD Connections to the Internet http://wiki.shopingserver.com/httpd-connections-to-the-internet/ http://wiki.shopingserver.com/httpd-connections-to-the-internet/#respond Mon, 28 Jan 2019 19:47:36 +0000 http://wiki.shopingserver.com/?p=22532 NCSA’s HTTPD and CERN’s HTTPD

 

Both NCSA’s (http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/InformationServers/) HTTPD and CERN’s (http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/Daemon/Status.html) HTTPD are widely available on the Net. They are both very popular and seem to work equally well.

They are, however, not for the faint of heart. These systems require an experienced UNIX systems administrator, with much more server knowledge than your average “geek.”

Of the two systems, NCSA’s server is the most widely used and best supported. NCSA’s server also has the capability to include documents within documents,

so that they can be customized when a reader requests them.

It is available at ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Web/httpd.

CERN’s server, on the other hand, is often used as a firewall to control Internet connections

(see more on this in the section titled “Security Issues,” later in this chapter).

This is called a proxy server, and not only is used as a security measure,

but can also aid in increasing the speed of the system by keeping commonly requested information

in its cache rather than having to retrieve it from within the firewall on every request.

Apache HTTPD Server

 

The Apache HTTPD server (http://www.apache.org, see Figure 6.7) is a plug-in replacement for NCSA 1.3. A few of the features Apache claims are

  • It fixes numerous bugs and security holes seen in NCSA 1.3 and 1.4.
  • It’s free.
  • It’s much faster than NCSA 1.3, and more efficient and faster than 1.4/1.5 as well.
  • It offers better compliance with existing HTTP specs.
  • DBM databases for authentication enable you to easily set up password-protected pages with enormous numbers of authorized users without bogging down the server.
  • Customized responses to errors and problems are possible.

  • The server enables you to set up files, or even CGI scripts, which are returned by the server in response to errors and problems; for example, you can set up a script to intercept 500 Server Errors and perform on-the-fly diagnostics for both users and yourself.
  • Multiple Directory Index directives are possible.
  • Apache has no fixed limit on the numbers of aliases and redirects that may be declared in the configuration files.
  • Content negotiation —the ability to automatically serve clients of varying sophistication and HTML level compliance, with documents which offer the best representation of information that the client is capable of accepting— is supported.
  • It has the capability to handle multihomed servers.
  • It can distinguish between requests made to different IP addresses (mapped to the same machine).

Figure 6.7. The Apache Web site.

Netscape

 

Netscape (http://www.netscape.com) offers two commercial options for UNIX platforms: the FastTrack server ($295), and the Enterprise server ($995). If you can afford it, upgrade to the Netscape Enterprise server; it offers all the features of the Fast Track server as well as encryption software, which enables secure transactions over the Internet.

Not only is Netscape leading the way in secure transactions, it is perceive by users as the most secure way to send credit card numbers over the Web. For more information about these two Netscape servers, see the preceding section, “Servers for Windows.”

Connections to the Internet

 

There are two separate entities to consider when you connect to the Internet: your ISP and your telephone company. Although we must deal with them each separately, the costs involved are directly related. With both your ISP and your phone company, there will be setup charges as well as recurring charges.

The first step in determining these costs is deciding on the speed you need. The more speed you want, the more money you will spend (both for setup and on an ongoing basis).

Your Speed—From ISDN to T1 and Beyond

 

You have several choices when deciding on which type of line you’ll use to connect your server to the Internet. For most purposes, a point-to-point dedicated T1 is the best decision, but there are other options, as you will see here.

Both your server configuration and Internet bandwidth will determine how fast data is transferred and how many requests can be serviced simultaneously (see Table 6.1). As the number of requests increases, delays or failures are more likely to occur unless you have sufficient bandwidth.

Table 6.1. Typical levels of service for full Internet connections.

 

Connection Maximum BPS Simultaneous Users Supported
ISDN 128,000 10–50
Fractional T1 Varies as needed Varies
T1 1,544,000 100–500
T3 about 45,000,000 5000+

A very light-duty server could get away with using ISDN. ISDN is fast on its way to becoming the universal standard for switched digital access. While it is great for accessing the Internet, it is usually too limited for all but the smallest Internet servers.

However, if you expect very few visitors at a time and want the smallest investment, but insist on your own server, ISDN is an acceptable choice. ISDN is also more readily available than higher speed connections and is now available in most metropolitan areas within the United States.

A server with average traffic might have a T1 or a Fractional T1 (which is a fraction of a T1) line install.

A T1 supports transfer speeds up to 1.544 megabits per second, and is the most frequently used option for point-to-point dedicate lines.

Many telephone companies have also begun offering Fractional T1 (FT1) services, which are configure as a number of 56Kbps channels. This is design for companies that don’t require as much throughput as the T1 provides.

Big businesses who expect heavy Internet traffic may need multiple T1 lines, or even T3 service if they want to be able to serve thousands of users.

A T3 is the emerging high-end option for a point-to-point dedicated connection and supports a 45Mbps connection. A T3 is way beyond what most sites require (or can afford), but it does run awfully fast, enabling you to run all the high bandwidth applications (like video and sound) your little heart desires.

Comparison of the Major Server Systems part 2 http://wiki.shopingserver.com/comparison-of-the-major-server-systems-part-2/ http://wiki.shopingserver.com/comparison-of-the-major-server-systems-part-2/#respond Mon, 28 Jan 2019 19:38:59 +0000 http://wiki.shopingserver.com/?p=22529 Routers

If you are purchasing a server package, your router may be included in this system. If not, your ISP may be able to provide you with one. ThereIf  this is not the case, you may need to purchase a router. What is a router, you say?

A router looks at packets in your internal network, finds the ones that are destined for the Internet, and sends them out. This has to be done at extremely high speed, and the consequences of errors can be horrendous. Because of this, you may need a high-quality router for your system.

Routers can also be configured to allow only certain packets between networks, a process called packet filtering. Packet filtering can be used to prevent users from seeing or connecting to internal computers and resources.

(See “Firewalls,” later in this chapter.)

The standard is the Cisco (http://www.cisco.com) 2500-series. They are a little expensive at around $ 1,900 each, but well worth the cost. You can theoretically program a PC (using special software, such as BSDI) as a router, but the configuration is best left to true experts only.

Depending on your specific Internet provider, you may need to provide the router at your own site only, or at both your site and their site. Look for connections, called full service, which will provide the equipment and maintenance at both sites.

Software

 

The following sections list some of the more popular software options. If you want the most up-to-date information about what the most popular server is, check out http://www.netcraft.co.uk/Survey/Reports. (See Figure 6.4.)

  • Configurable service, including TCP/IP port and time-outs; multiple virtual roots, including roots located on other computers over the network; home page location; and default name
  • Multiple virtual Web servers running with only one administrative unit and one operating system process

  • Per-user default directories support
  • Configurable logon, logoff, and per-directory welcome text
  • Capability to develop database applications using the World Wide Web and any ODBC data source
  • Gopher+ support

Microsoft’s Internet Information Server is up to four times faster than competitive Web server products, including the Web servers from Netscape, Process software, O’Reilly & Associates, and Novell. This is according to a study conducted for Microsoft by independent testing services.

WinHTTPD

 

WinHTTPD (http://www.city.net/win-httpd)is also a popular system for Windows-based and Windows for Workgroups-based (16-bit) systems. This software is based on NCSA’s HTTPD and provides the CGI capabilities through a DOS or Visual Basic interface. While this system is inexpensive (around $99), it’s much less user-friendly than other systems available.

WebSite

 

O’Reilly and Associates offers a 32-bit version of WinHTTPD called WebSite (http://website.ora.com/). It is a commercial offering that costs $379 and is available as a 60-day demo.

Servers for Apple Macintosh

 

Apple (Figure 6.6) has made some great strides lately in regard to their Internet server software and is gaining popularity quickly. The people who use and love these systems always mention their ease of use.

Figure.6.6. Apple and the Internet Web site.

MacHTTP

 

For Macintosh, there is an inexpensive (and we hear, user-friendly) HTTP server called MacHTTP (http://www.starnine.com/machttp/machttpsoft.html).

You can try out MacHTTP for 30 days free. It provides its CGI capabilities through Applescript. There are some problems with trying to apply Macintosh rules to the Internet environment, but with some care, most of these can be overcome (more on this in Chapter 12, “Working with Graphics”).

For more information visit, the Frequently Asked Questions posting dedicated to MacHTTP (http://arpp1.carleton.ca/machttp/doc/).

WebSTAR

 

WebSTAR (http://www.starnine.com/) is StarNine’s industrial-strength commercial World Wide Web server. It is faster than many Web servers running on UNIX, and three times faster than MacHTTP.

It is also apparently much more secure than UNIX, and evidently does not need a firewall. (Famous last words?)

WebSTAR supports all browsers, forms, and clickable maps (ISMAPs) and integrates with both Mac and SQL databases.

It supports thousands of connections per hour, can be administered from anywhere on the Net, has an integrated search engine for fast data retrieval, and enables control of multiple servers from one Mac.

It also has optional security (SSL and S-HTTP authentication and encryption) and commerce toolkits (which support commercial transactions via the First Virtual Internet payment system).

Servers for UNIX

 

The Internet began on UNIX-based systems, so much of the server software is developed for this environment. Not only are there more tools available for UNIX servers, often they are available as freeware.

Comparison of the Major Server Systems part 1 http://wiki.shopingserver.com/comparison-of-the-major-server-systems-part-1/ http://wiki.shopingserver.com/comparison-of-the-major-server-systems-part-1/#respond Mon, 28 Jan 2019 19:27:55 +0000 http://wiki.shopingserver.com/?p=22526 There are several issues that need to be addressed in regard to server systems. The hardware and software configurations of a server can vary widely, and there are a number of combinations that will result in a good server system.

In order to give you the best overall picture of your options, we’ll cover these issues separately.

Hardware

Servers can be run off anything from small under-powered machines to massive network systems. The system you choose will mostly depend on your budget. You can choose to develop your own server or use a company that specializes in turn-key server packages (preconfigured hardware/software solutions).

No matter what system you decide on, make sure that it is able to grow as your site expands. Your server hardware is one of the most difficult parts of your system to change, so make sure you choose wisely, and don’t cut corners here.


Note

If you are planning to connect your LAN (Local Area Network) to the Net, there are a variety of commercial solutions available. You can either choose to install client software as well as a server on each workstation (yuck), or choose a complete server-based system (yeah).

System integration services are available from computer companies like IBM (http://www.ibm.com/) and Digital Equipment Corporation (http://www.digital.com/). There are also a growing number of services (such as PSINet or UUNet) that offer connectivity services. These are usually partnerships between LAN providers and ISPs.


Web servers run on so many types of systems it is impossible to explore each in this limited space; however, the next sections give a quick overview of the systems we see used most often.

Sun Workstations

 

Sun (http://www.sun.com/) owners are generally quite happy with their technology, and go so far as to say that you’ll have the least trouble if you go with one of these systems, as we hope you would at that price.

Some claimed advantages are the system’s stability, the quality hardware installed, and that public domain UNIX software is easier to compile than on another platform. Sun components, however, are more difficult to locate than PC components, and it is more expensive than most other systems.

Silicon Graphics Workstations

 

SGI (Silicon Graphics Incorporated, see Figure 6.2) is considered the Rolls Royce of workstations. Those who use SGI generally fall in love with them. Graphic designers as well as Web server administrators both find SGI out of this world.

Figure.6.2. Silicon Graphics’ high bandwidth Web site.

So why doesn’t everyone use them? Two main reasons: the high cost and the difficult security setup. If security is a concern, be prepared to spend lots of time making your host secure. In fact, many feel it is not a good idea to use an SGI box as your shell machine at all!

Apparently, the default SGI configuration disregards security almost completely. Therefore, you may not want to run credit card numbers through an SGI system. If you are interested in this system, check out the SGI Administration FAQ; it has a comprehensive list of known SGI security holes and how to fix them.

Basically,

if you want to buy a really neat workstation, are prepared to deal with the security issues, and money is not a major concern, an SGI machine may be right for you. Visit Silicon Graphics’ slick Web site (http://www.sgi.com), which has lots of useful information and a great FAQ to answer all your questions.

Pentium-Based Systems

 

Pentium-based server systems (like Intel’s, Figure 6.3) are becoming more and more popular, especially with the decreasing cost of Pentium Pro and PCI chip sets. Everyone seems to agree they are taking over the market. Not only is the setup cost inexpensive, but so are the add-on components. This has led to an explosion of software solutions geared toward these systems.

Another added bonus is that you can exchange parts with your existing PC or build a whole PC network using Windows NT. Some say that setting up these systems to use as a Web server can be difficult, so we think it is a good idea if you are planning on going this way to invest in one of the preconfigured, complete server packages (more on these later in this chapter).

Macintosh-Based Systems

 

The best source of information on the Macintosh server is available straight from the horse’s mouth at http://www.apple.com. Apple has made some great strides lately and is gaining popularity quickly. If you want a preconfigured Web server, Apple sells a range of packages called the Apple Internet Server Solution.

Preconfigured Server Packages

 

A growing number of companies are selling complete server packages; many of these are inexpensive and use Pentium chip sets. Some companies also sell “complete” Internet servers. These companies are a good place to begin your search for hardware and investigate your hardware needs if you don’t know much about setting up systems. A few we have found are

 

WebCube http://www.pacnet.com/pacnet/wcube/home.html
Computer Data Networks http://www.kuwait.net/~cdn/servers.html
Intergraph http://129.135.1.3/webserver

The real advantage to these types of systems is that they come preconfigured with your server hardware and software, which could end up saving you days of setup.
