Server operating system, also known as network operating system, is the system software that servers can run. Almost all servers can support various operating systems. in other words, H3C, Both Huawei servers and Dell servers support these four server operating systems. The following is an overview of the four mainstream server operating systems.

UNIX operating system

UNIX was initially a time-sharing operating system that supported small computers, but eventually became one of the most popular server operating systems in client server environments. It is written in C language, and due to its support for many different platforms, UNIX has been ported to a wider range of machines compared to other operating systems.

UNIX is designed for multi-user environments, known as multi-user operating systems, and comes with built-in TCP/IP support, providing excellent stability and security. Currently, over 90% of the various sites providing services on the Internet are using the UNIX operating system.

Unlike other operating systems, different vendors sell different versions of UNIX and there is no true UNIX. On the contrary, despite attempts to develop a standard version of UNIX, there are actually many different versions that are similar and incompatible.

Linux operating system

Linux is a free software that has all the features of UNIX. Originally developed by students from a Finnish university, version 0.11 was released in 1991.

Linux is an excellent operating system. It is open, supports multi-user, multi process, multi threading, has good real-time performance, powerful and stable functions, and can be obtained for free under the GPL organized by the CNU Free Software Foundation. A POSIX compliant operating system.

The operating system software package also includes application software such as text editors and high-level language compilers, allowing the use of windows, icons, and menus to operate the system.

NetWare system

NetWare system is a server based network operating system that requires a dedicated server in the network. The NetWare operating system was commonly used in early computer networks.

The NetWare series operating system supports multi processor and large capacity physical memory management; Can provide shared file access and printing functions; Support high scalability of enterprise networks, including open standards and file protocols.

Windows system

The Windows series of operating systems includes different series such as Windows 2000, Windows 2018, etc., mainly used as network operating systems for servers in the network.

The Windows series operating system can support symmetric multiprocessor systems, large capacity memory management, and unique file and file management systems, and is also highly favored by users.

Through our introduction of the four mainstream operating systems commonly used in server leasing, we believe that everyone has gained a deeper understanding of server operating systems. When installing the system, it is also necessary to make specific choices based on one's own business situation and database environment.
