  • What's LightNode's BGP Server Room?

    BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is a routing protocol used to connect independent systems on the Internet. It is an enhanced, refined, and scalable protocol developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force.BGP4 supports the CIDR addressing scheme, which increases the number of available IP addresses on the Internet.BGP was designed to replace the original Exterior Gateway Protocol, EGP. It is also considered to be a path vectoring protocol.

    BGP is mainly used for interconnection between Internet AS (Autonomous Systems). The most important function of BGP is to control the propagation of routes and to select the best route. After interconnection using the BGP protocol, all backbone routing devices of network operators will judge the best route to the IP segment of IDC rooms to ensure high-speed access for users of different network operators.

    The server room that uses the BGP solution to achieve dual-line interconnection or multi-line interconnection is called the BGP server room.

  • Difference Between SSD and HHD

    Solid State Drive (SSD), the internal structure of the SSD is not as complex as the HHD, SSD is a hard disk with solid-state electronic storage chips arrayed from the control unit and storage unit, the storage medium is divided into two types, one using flash memory (FLASH chips) as the storage medium, the other is the use of DRAM (DRAM chips) as the storage medium.

    Inside the SSD, the core part is the controller, which is the heart of the entire SSD, including many architectures, such as read and write algorithms, interface definitions, and so on. SSDs are identical to traditional hard drives in terms of interface specifications and definitions, functionality, and usage, and are also identical to traditional hard drives in terms of product shape and size, with greatly improved I/O performance compared to traditional hard drives.

    Mechanical Hard Disk (HHD): that is, the traditional ordinary hard disk, mainly composed of: disk, head, disk spindle and control motor, head controller, data converter, interface, cache, and other parts.

    In the center of each HHD, there are a large number of high-speed rotating disks, all the disks in the HHDs are mounted on a rotating axis, each disk is parallel to each other, and the disk is covered with a layer of small and thin magnetized metal particles, data in a form that can not be distinguished by the naked eye, many groups of tiny particles formed by the magnetization pattern records form the data, each group of data is also called bit, all The particles are arranged according to their own magnetism, which works similarly to the CD-ROMs we normally use. The advantage of an SSD is that it can store more things than an SSD at the same price.

  • What Is KVM?

    1. KVM is open source software, the full name is a kernel-based virtual machine (kernel-based virtual machine). 2. is the x86 architecture and hardware support virtualization technology (such as Intel VT or AMD-V) Linux full virtualization solution. 3. it contains a kernel module KVM that provides the underlying virtualization for the processor can be loaded. 4. KVM also requires a modified QEMU software (Qemu-KVM) that serves as the upper-level control and interface for the virtual machine. 5. KVM can run multiple virtual machines at the same time without changing the Linux or windows image, (it means multiple virtual machines using the same image) and configure a personalized hardware environment for each virtual machine (network card, disk, graphics adapter) Also KVM is able to use KVM technology to help host server to save memory. 6. KVM kernels are included in the mainstream Linux kernels, such as 2.6.20 and above.
