Web & Application

Web, application and container hosting

Web apps and containers, where many small requests run at once.

Most important first

What this work needs

1

Concurrency: cores and threads, at a usable clock

Enough threads to keep serving while other requests wait.

2

Memory bandwidth per core, and populated channels

Filled memory channels keep latency low under load.

3

Network the tier can actually saturate

The network link runs out before the processors do.

Where money gets wasted

A graphics card or local data. App servers stay stateless.

Our picks

Machines for web & application

Worth knowing: Built in 2U rather than 1U, which also runs quieter and cooler.
