Users will choose server hosting, generally for the sufficient resources of the service provider's data center and professional technical support. In this environment, enterprises are more assured of their own server security. However, although the IDC service provider’s data center has achieved the highest level of configuration in all aspects, it also pays much attention to operation and maintenance, and sometimes it is still unavoidable that the server will fail. So in general, why does the server fail? Tao He is here today to count the possible reasons for everyone.
1. The client's own operation causes server failure
In the implementation of server hosting, some customers directly host to the data center, and the data center staff provide users with basic hardware maintenance, such as basic services such as power supply and security; customers themselves have to perform more work on operating systems and other aspects. . The technology of the server hosting service provider is only for remote maintenance. In this mode, the main faults are generally caused by the customers themselves. In the daily use of the server, users should carefully modify the data in the server, and check the data security environment inside the server in time. In addition, data should be backed up to prevent data loss caused by server failure.
2. Network failure causes server failure
When the server is in use, if the connection line of the main network service provider fails, the entire network may be interrupted. To improve the ability to resist risks, it is necessary to coordinate with multiple backbone network operators, which is often referred to as multi-line BGP. In this way, the risk can be greatly reduced. If the network is interrupted, perform a network recovery and it will work normally. Of course, such a situation is relatively rare. Normally, the probability of network failures in computer rooms above T3+ level, especially in the BGP multi-line data center of enterprise online, is extremely low.
3. Malfunctions caused by hacker attacks
Servers are vulnerable to hacker attacks in large environments. At present, hackers' attacks on servers, especially website servers, use traffic attacks in addition to traditional methods of hooking horses. Therefore, the most common job for the technicians of server hosting service providers is to deal with hackers and external attacks. Service providers often need to prevent hacker attacks by adjusting bandwidth resources, restarting hardware, closing IP, and mapping transfers. Of course, these measures often affect the use of user servers, but such effects are often short-term.
In short, for server hosting users, daily maintenance requires effective connection and cooperation between users and service providers, so that users can minimize the probability of server failures during use.
