Rack-mounted UPS and PDU: Power Calculation
A clear guide to sizing rack power by real load rather than PSU labels, and to selecting UPS and PDU as one power architecture.
CPU/RAM/Network/Disks Balance: How to Avoid a Bottleneck
Why can an expensive server still feel slow? Because real performance depends on balance, not on the highest specs of a single component. This article explains how CPU, memory, network, and storage interact, where bottlenecks usually appear, and how to build a server configuration that performs predictably under load.
Server in the office: noise, heat, placement
Putting a server in an office is not always a mistake, but it is almost always a compromise. This article explains when the setup makes sense, where a server can and cannot be placed, how to evaluate noise and heat in advance, and why hiding it in furniture or next to employees usually creates more problems than it solves.
