Servers are the backbone of a data center operation and are used primarily for the transfer of data. A server operation depends on the reliability and durability of the hardware. A typical server comprises dual-power supplies, RAID disk system, and error-correcting code (ECC) memory, which are tested for operations by vendors. Modern servers can be hot-swapped in the case of any service requirement. Missioncritical servers are designed and manufactured with fault tolerance and have low failure rates for maximum data center uptime. Servers can be powered up, configured, and rebooted remotely using server management software. Servers are also virtualized in modern data centers to increase the utilization of computing resources for multiple operations.
