Servers

What is Server?

A server is a computer program or a physical device that offers a service to another computer program and its user, also known as the client. Servers can offer a variety of features, referred to as “services,” including the ability to perform computation for a client or share data or resources among many clients. The central repository ensures that every team member has authorized access to the files, applications, and other resources. Major applications of the servers are as follows:

  • Run & share major Applications
  • Host & share access to Databases
  • Control & manage client machines
  • Run backup between source & target
  • Keep & Share Files between the clients
