Business Servers

A server is a host computer on a network that stores information and performs critical functions for a specified purpose.

Types of server:

• File server - General data and file storage.
• Print server - Management of print queues.
• Web server - Storage and availability of web documents.
• E-mail server - Directs email to the appropriate destination.
• Backup server - Provides redundancy by copying the contents of another server.
• SQL/Database server - Provides access to database files.
• Active Directory Server - validates users credentials as they log on to a host.

 

The buzz word of the year is "Virtualisation" with many industry leaders providing competing technologies to enable one physical piece of server hardware to run multiple "virtual" operating systems.

Virtual Servers offer many advantages, including a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) due to lower hardware investment, and green energy saving benefits due to less physical hardware being powered on.
