Description

1. Processor (CPU)

• Type: Intel Xeon E-series / AMD EPYC / Intel Core i9 / AMD Ryzen (depending on preference and workload)
• Cores: 8 to 32 cores (e.g., Intel Xeon Gold 6248R with 24 cores or AMD EPYC 7643 with 32 cores)
• Clock Speed: 3.0 GHz to 3.5 GHz base, up to 4.5 GHz with Turbo Boost (depending on the model)
• Performance Features: Hyper-Threading (Intel), SMT (Simultaneous Multi-Threading, AMD), and Turbo Boost for handling multi-threaded tasks and high workloads.

2. Memory (RAM)

• Size: 32 GB to 256 GB DDR4 (or DDR5) ECC RAM
• ECC RAM: Error-correcting code (ECC) to ensure stability, reliability, and prevent data corruption, which is important for mission-critical web portals.
• Expandable: Supports easy upgrade to meet growing demands, with configurations available from 64 GB to 512 GB or more.

3. Storage

• Primary Storage: SSD (Solid State Drive) for ultra-fast read/write speeds
  • Capacity: 500 GB to 4 TB NVMe SSD or SATA SSDs for optimal performance and quick data access.
  • RAID Configuration: RAID 1 (for redundancy), RAID 10 (for performance and redundancy), or RAID 5 (for redundancy and efficiency).
• Secondary Storage: Optional HDD for large file storage (4 TB to 8 TB, 7200 RPM) for data that doesn’t require high-speed access.

4. Network and Bandwidth

• Network Ports: 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps dedicated uplink to the data center’s network.
• Bandwidth: 1 TB to 10 TB monthly data transfer or unmetered bandwidth options to handle high traffic loads and large file transfers.
• Redundant Connections: Dual network cards with failover support for uninterrupted connectivity.

5. Power Supply

• Redundant Power Supply: Dual power supply units (PSUs) for fault tolerance and high availability.
• Power Rating: Typically 500W to 1200W, depending on server load requirements.

6. Security Features

• Firewall: Built-in hardware and software firewall protection.
• DDoS Protection: Automated DDoS mitigation solutions to prevent downtime during malicious traffic surges.
• SSL/TLS: Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) certificates to encrypt user data, protecting sensitive information across the web portal.
• IP Whitelisting/Blacklisting: Configurable for additional security against unauthorized access.
• Physical Security: Located in data centers with strict access control, CCTV monitoring, and biometric security.

7. Operating System (OS)

• Choice of OS: Windows Server, Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, Fedora), or custom OS depending on portal requirements.
• Control Panel: cPanel, Plesk, or custom administration tools for easy management of server resources, hosting environment, and applications.
• Support for Virtualization: VMware, KVM, or Hyper-V for creating virtualized environments or hosting virtual machines for different aspects of the web portal.

8. Backup and Data Recovery

• Automated Backups: Regular, automated server backups (daily/weekly/monthly) to cloud storage or external locations.
• Offsite Storage: Additional backup options, such as cold storage or remote backups, to protect against hardware failure.
• Disaster Recovery: Ready-to-deploy disaster recovery solutions in case of unexpected server issues.

9. Server Management Options

• Managed Services: Full server management by expert teams, including updates, monitoring, patching, and troubleshooting.
• Unmanaged Services: Full root/administrative access to configure and manage the server yourself.
• 24/7 Support: 24/7 technical support for hardware failures, network issues, or troubleshooting.

10. Location

• Data Center Locations: Choose from multiple data center locations around the world (US, Europe, Asia) to ensure low latency and better access for global users.

Additional Features & Customization
Customization: Ability to customize the server further for specific software requirements (e.g., specific databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, or NoSQL options).
SSL Certificates & Security: Optional dedicated SSL certificates for your web portal for secure HTTPS connections.
Load Balancing: Option for load balancing across multiple servers to enhance performance and availability during traffic spikes.
