Abstract

The present disclosure provides a server system including a storage server and a host server. The storage server includes a storage device, a first data converting unit and a first data transmitting unit. The storage device stores the data of the server system. The first data converting unit transmits the data and converts the data as a data packet. The first data transmitting unit receives and transmits the data packet. The host server, which includes a second data transmitting unit, a second data converting unit and a processing unit, is communicatively connected to the storage server. The second data transmitting unit is correspondingly configured with the first data transmitting unit, receives and transmits the data packet. The data converting unit transmits the data and converts the data packet as the pending data. The processing unit receives the pending data, and processes and computes the pending data.

Claims
