4 Way Server
What is a 4 Way Server? A four way server generally provides better and faster performance, scalability and fault tolerance by supporting multiple CPUs.
Can you guess how many processors the four way server has . . . yep four.Each of the four CPUs can carry out individual processes simultaneously. The terminology for the computer architecture used within a four way server is called Symmetric MultiProcessing or SMP for short. They can work like four individual processor computers, or work together as a connected group to process a large job, or simply work as a backup for each other to increase fault tolerance by double checking each others results. Four way Blade servers are ultra-slim servers that are stacked in a chassis side by side, much like books on a shelf. Because they take up significantly less space than traditional rack servers, blade servers enable customers to reduce "server sprawl" and better manage their computing infrastructures.
