Quad Core Dedicated Servers San Diego

Quad Core processors are better suited for servers that are in high demand or running multiple applications or multiple instances of applications. An often forgotten aspect of using a processor with multiple cores is is the licensing requirements of the software you are using. Many products, such as Microsoft SQL Server, is licensed on a per CPU basis. A quad-core server dishes out 4x the CPU but would be licensed the same as a single CPU. As a general guideline, customers with medium to high traffic requirements should consider using a quad-core server. This is especially true if your website is heavily using a programming language such as ColdFusion or .Net.

Suggested Uses

For Example: Web Servers with Heavy use of ColdFusion, ASP.NET and/or PHP, MS SQL 2005 Database Server, Clustered Application Server, Adobe Connect Pro Web Conferencing Server, Basic Virtual Server Host
