SERVER
WHAT IS SERVER?
SERVER
It is a computer or system that provides resources,
data, services, or programs to other computers,
known as clients, over a network. There are many
types of servers, including web servers, mail
servers, and virtual servers. An individual system
can provide resources and use them from another
system at the same time.
This means that a device could be both a server
and a client at the same time.
SERVER
Initially, such servers were connected to clients
known as terminals that did not do any actual
computing. These terminals, referred to as
dumb terminals, existed simply to accept input
via a keyboard or card reader and to return the
results of any computations to a display screen
or printer.
The actual computing was done on the server.
TYPES OF SERVER
TYPES OF SERVER
File servers
File servers store and
distribute files. Multiple clients
or users may share files
stored on a server. File
server hardware can be
designed to maximize read
and write speeds to improve
performance.
TYPES OF SERVER
Print servers
Print servers allow for the
management and
distribution of printing
functionality. Rather than
attaching a printer to every
workstation, a single print
server can respond to
printing requests from
numerous clients.
TYPES OF SERVER
DNS servers
Domain Name System
(DNS) servers are
application servers that
provide name resolution to
client computers by
converting names easily
understood by humans into
machine-readable IP
addresses.
TYPES OF SERVER
Mail servers
It is then ready to send and
receive messages rather
than requiring every client
machine to have its own
email subsystem
continuously running.

EXAMPLES OF SERVER
OPERATING SYSTEMS
EXAMPLES OF SERVER OPERATING SYSTEMS
NetWare
Although no longer made, NetWare was a major player in the
server software space as the client-server era was ramping
up. Eventually, NetWare moved its server operating system to
a Linux-based kernel and named it a Novell Open Enterprise
Server (OES).
EXAMPLES OF SERVER OPERATING SYSTEMS
CLOUD SERVERS
Virtual servers hosted on a third-
party infrastructure on an open
network, such as the Internet, are
called cloud servers. There are
numerous cloud server providers
these days, including Google’s
Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure,
and IBM Cloud.
However, the main pioneer of
corporate cloud computing was
Amazon’s AWS platform.
PATCHES
PATCHES
A patch is a set of changes to a computer
program or its supporting data designed to
update, fix, or improve it. This includes fixing
security vulnerabilities and other bugs, with such
patches usually being called bugfixes or bug
fixes.
