Server Architecture

Created 9 years ago in Technology / Other

Large servers, small servers, hardened single-use servers, kitchen sink servers, virtual servers, bare metal servers, ones with graphical remote access, ones without.

Gain insight in to how things are working, whether you're using yours to their full potential, whether a different architecture style would let you scale more effectively, and much more.

Here are some quick tips:
- SSH + SSH tunnelling is an excellent method for remote access, AS LONG AS passwords are disabled, and keys used instead.
- If you can configure a bare-metal server by hand, that's one thing, but if you can create a script that configures the server for you, you've just created a tool that can help you scale.
- If it's a necessary service, find a way to properly monitor it in real-time.
