Servers are the backbone of a data center operation, and they are used mainly for the transfer of data over computer networks. A server operation is dependent on hardware reliability and durability. A typical server consists of dual-power supplies, redundant array of independent disks (RAID) disk systems, and error-correcting code (ECC) memory, which are tested for operations by vendors. There have been severa innovations in the design and manufacturing of servers, depending on business requirements.Modern servers can be hot-swapped in the case of any service requirement. Missioncritical servers are designed and manufactured with fault tolerance with 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.
