Why a bridge when I already have a server?
System administrators often turn to servers as the go-to answer for challenges that come up in the data center, especially for making data available for applications in different locations.
While it seems counterintuitive, servers are not built to move data efficiently, requiring multiple ‘hops’ as data is moved in and out of registers and system memory, which slows everything down. Moving data also consumes valuable CPU processing bandwidth, which can prevent servers from handling other, more complex operations. Servers are also expensive to maintain – licensing, power, cooling, updates and the inevitable upgrades.
