| Hold up! Overwhelmed by all this? Don't worry — we're here to help. Email sales@ggcircuit.com and we'll be glad to discuss how our server configuration and on-site services can ease some of the burden.

Electrical

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

Use a dedicated UPS for the ggRock server to protect against power interruptions.
Recommended model: CyberPower OR1500LCDRT2U.

Redundant Power Supplies

Equip the server with multiple power supply units for redundancy.
Connect each power supply to separate batteries within the UPS, or to different UPS units.

Physical Network

Server-to-Switch Connection

Establish at least a 10 Gigabit connection between the ggRock server and the primary switch.
For larger deployments, consider 25 or 40 Gigabit connections to accommodate higher data throughput.

Switch Interconnections

Ensure any supporting switches also have at least a 10 Gigabit connection, especially between primary and secondary switches.

Client Network Connection

Each client machine should have at least a 1 Gigabit connection to maintain efficient data transfer.

Network Interfaces

Use SFP+ connectors — these are commonly used for 10G connections
