With computer’s blending into our society unceasingly, many corporations have their own standalone servers so as to exchange and deal with data information better. Severs should have faster CPU and faster RAM, because they will deal with and store a large amount of information. At the same time, network managers should perform good disk partition managements for servers, such as resize partition, merge partitions, copy partition and so on. Good disk partition managements for servers can not only help users manage data better, but also make computer performance reach it’s the highest level. The operation we do most is to resize partition. However, what are the advantages to resize server partitions?
Why should we resize server partitions?
Many users know a good disk planning can promote running rate of operating system and use ratio of disk space. So, for servers which demand higher quality in all aspects, good planning is also important. If server partition is out of space, much unnecessary loss would happen. For example, data may be not completed or can not be stored. If system partition is out of space, computers will run slowly. For servers which require high data safety and high running rate, the loss resulting from deficient space is inestimable. So, how to solve this problem? Now, I will introduce several commonly used methods.
Way to resize server partitions
Here, I offer two methods. The first one is to repartition, which can expand system partition. However, repartition will bring about influences on data, so users need to make a copy for the data in server before repartition. Who would like to cost so much time to make a copy and repartition? The second method is to resize server partition, which is the most effective method, because it costs less time. Besides, it will not bring with data in servers any influence. Users have to need the help of the third-party partition magic if they want to resize server partition with the second method. Disk management for servers requires high level data safety, so every server manager will be cautious when managing software. I suggest using MiniTool Partition Wizard to resize partition. As a partition magic, it can not only help users resize server partition quickly, but also bring with servers no influence. At he same time, MiniTool Partition Wizard also offers users the functions of merging partitions, creating partitions, copying partitions and other functions, which can meet server managers’ different demands.
