Dell Poweredge R710 Server and ESP32

Projects General Guidance

Hi,
I know it's a very broad question, but is it possible to use a ESP32 and a Dell Poweredge R710 Server for example to store and show data live on a website ?
Thank you,

Sure it is possible to build a website and store data on a Dell PowereEdge server, but could you perhaps elaborate on the 'show data live' bit and how the ESP32 is involved in this?

Thank you for your time and your answer, the ESP32 has sensors, and i want to put that sensor data on the website , the place where the esp32 with its sensors are located have access to wifi

There are many examples of ESP32 sending data to web sites, or hosting a web site. The Dell server is not needed, just a WiFi access point.

Thank you for your answer and you time, but there is two constraints :

1 ) I have a lot of ESP32 ( around 2000 long term )
2) They are not in the same place ( 50 esp to 100 esp per site )
3 ) I want to access the data from my home

Do you think it will make it without the server ?

It would be a good idea to store all this data from the ESP32s in a database, obviously accessible online (for example MySQL).

In this way the web server that will display the data can be hosted anywhere: in your Dell server or even in the same flash memory of each ESP32.

Thank you for your answer, would you suggest using the dell server or you think there is no need ?

If you have the possibility to put your server online why not?
After all, if the ESP32s are located in different places you need to connect them to something remote that can be reached by all the nodes.

Thank you, I'll give it a try, I have never done this before

If you have a MySQL database, you can try this library of mine if you want.

I mainly use ESP32 for my projects so it's super tested with this MCU.
