2.4.1. Servers

A server is any PC that performs network capacities for different PCs. These capacities fall into a few classifications, including the accompanying:

a)   File and print servers, which give record sharing and services to share network-based printers.

b)  Application servers, which give particular application services to an application. An illustration is a server that runs a database that a dispersed application uses.

c)   E-mail servers, which give email stockpiling and interconnection services to client PCs.

d)  Networking servers, which can give a large group of various network services. Case of these services incorporate the programmed task of TCP/IP addresses (DHCP servers), steering of parcels starting with one network then onto the next (directing servers), encryption/ decryption & security services, and VPN access.

As noted before, servers regularly run some kind of network OS, for example, Windows Server 2008, UNIX, or Linux. Contingent upon the OS picked, the capacities beforehand recorded may all be performed on one server or disseminated to numerous servers. Additionally, not all networks require all the services beforehand recorded.

Server PCs can be almost any sort of PC, yet today they are generally top of the line Intel-based PCs. You may likewise see certain sorts of servers that utilization an alternate platform. Case in point, numerous devoted web servers keep running on UNIX-based PCs, for example, those from Sun Microsystems, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and different merchants.

Various elements recognize a genuine server-class PC from a more on foot client PC, including the accompanying:

a)   Built-in excess with various power supplies and fans (for example) to keep the server running if something breaks.

b)  Special elite plans for hard drive subsystems, memory, and network subsystems to advance the development of data to and from the server, the network, and the client PCs.


c)   Special checking programming and hardware that keeps a close eye on the reliability of the server, cautioning of disappointments before they happen. For instance, most servers have temperature screens; if the temperature begins getting too high, a notice is issued so the issue can be determined before it causes disappointment of any of the equipment parts in the server.
