When
you are working with computers, you would have wondered about how and
where data is centrally stored. Or about how the client computers get
information. Then you should know more about servers.
Servers come in many
shapes and sizes. They are a core component of the network, providing
a link to the resources necessary to perform any task. The link the
server provides could be to a resource existing on the server itself
or a resource on a client computer. The server is the “leader of
the pack,” offering directions to the client computers regarding
where to get what they need.
Servers offer networks
the capability of centralizing the control of resources and security
thereby reducing administrative difficulties. They can be used to
distribute processes for balancing the load on computers and can thus
increase speed and performance. They can also compartmentalize files
for improved reliability. That way, if one server goes down, not all
of the files are lost.
Servers can perform
several different critical tasks. For example, servers that provide
files to the users on the network are called file servers. Likewise,
servers that host printing services for users are called print
servers. Servers can be multi-purpose or single purpose. If they are
multipurpose, they can be for example, both a file server and a print
server at the same time. If the server is a single-purpose server, it
is a file server only or a print server only. Another distinction we
use in categorizing servers is whether they are dedicated or
non-dedicated.
