SERVER

Presented by: Redentor A. Balibago

SERVER
SERVER
A server is a software or hardware device that
accepts and responds to requests made over a
network.

The device that makes the request, and receives a

response from the server, is called a client.
On the Internet, the term "server" commonly refers
to the computer system that receives requests for
a web files and sends those files to the client.
What are they used for?
Servers manage network resources. For example,
a user may set up a server to control access to a
network, send/receive e-mail, manage print jobs,
or host a website. They are also proficient at
performing intense calculations. Some servers are
committed to a specific task,
often referred to as dedicated.
However, many servers today
are shared servers that take
on the responsibility of
e-mail, DNS, FTP, and even
multiple websites in the case
of a web server.
Examples of servers
The following list contains links to various server
types.
Application server
Blade server
Cloud server
Database server
Dedicated server
Domain name service
File server
Mail server
Print server
Proxy server
Standalone server
Web server
The minimum hardware requirements for the
installation of Network Server Suite are as
follows:
Enterprise Server Install: Minimum 4GB available
disk space, 2GB RAM (4GB recommended),
Minimum 1.4 GHz Processor Speed (2.0 GHz or
faster recommended)
Enterprise Client
Install: minimum 1GB
available disk space.
Why are servers always on?
Because they are commonly used to deliver
services that are constantly required, most servers
are never turned off.
Consequently, when servers fail, they can cause
the network users and company many problems.
To alleviate these
issues, servers are
commonly set up
to be fault tolerant.
How do other computers connect to a server?
With a local network, the server connects to a 
router or switch that all other computers on the
network use. Once connected to the network, other
computers can access that server and its features.

For example, with a web server, a user could

connect to the server to view a website, search, and
communicate with other users on the network.
An Internet server works the same way as a local
network server, but on a much larger scale. The
server is assigned an IP address or by web host.

Usually, users connect to a server using its 

domain name, which is registered with a 
domain name registrar. When users connect to
the domain name (such as “ntor.com"), the name
is automatically translated to the server's IP
address by a DNS resolver.
The domain name makes it easier for users to
connect to the server, because the name is easier
to remember than an IP address.

A domain name refers to your website

address. Also, domain names enable the server
operator to change the IP address of the server
without disrupting the way that users access the
server. The domain name can always remain the
same, even if the IP address changes.
What is a Forest and a Domain?
A FOREST is a collection of one or more domain
trees. It is comprised of all the domains in your
enterprise. Your forest may only have one
domain.
A DOMAIN is a logical group of computer that
share a central directory database.

The main difference between Forest and Domain

is that the Forest is a collection of domain trees
in an active directory while Domain is a logical
grouping of multiple objects in an active
directory.
What is Domain Controller

- A domain controller is a machine that runs

Active Directory Services.
- Acts like a boss of your network.
- You may have multiple domain controller that
all have copies of the same Active Directory
Database. (Show Picture)
What is SERVER ROLE?
Server role is major job that a server can perform. It is
recommended that a server not have too may roles.
A domain controller usually has only two roles;
1. Active Directory Domain Services
2. Domain Name Services
Active Directory – Brain of a Windows Server Network.
It is a database that keeps track of a huge amount of
stuff and gives us a centralized way to manage all our
network machine, users and resources.
Domain name services – Is a service provided by a
server that allows you to find other computer in your
network.
 Where are servers stored?
In a business or corporate environment, a server
and other network equipment are often stored in
a closet or glass house. These areas help isolate
sensitive computers and equipment from people
who should not have access to them.
Servers that are remote or not hosted on-site are
located in a data center.
With these types of servers,
the hardware is managed by
another company and
configured remotely by you
or your company.
 Can my computer be a server?
Yes. Any computer, even a home desktop or
laptop computer, can act as a server with the
right software. For example, you could install an 
FTP server program on your computer to share
files between other users on your network.
Hardware Requirements For Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
Processor — Processor performance depends not only on the clock frequency of
the processor, but also on the number of processor cores and the size of the
processor cache. The following are the processor requirements:

Minimum: 1 GHz (for x86 processors) or 1.4 GHz (for x64 processors)
Recommended: 2 GHz or faster
RAM — The following are the RAM requirements:
Minimum: 512 MB
Recommended: 2 GB or more
Maximum (32-bit systems): 4 GB (for Windows Server 2008 Standard) or 64
GB (for Windows Server 2008 Enterprise or Windows Server 2008 Datacenter)
Maximum (64-bit systems): 32 GB (for Windows Server 2008 Standard) or 2
terabyte (for Windows Server 2008 Enterprise, Windows Server 2008
Datacenter, or Windows Server® 2008 for Itanium-Based Systems)
Disk space requirements —The following are the approximate disk space
requirements for the system partition. Itanium-based and x64-based operating
systems will vary from these estimates. Additional disk space may be required
if you install the system over a network:
Minimum: 10 GB
Recommended: 40 GB or more
 Although it is possible to have your home computer
act as a server, keep the following ideas in mind.

-Your computer and the related server software must

always be running to be accessible.

-Connecting a computer to a network and the Internet can

open up your computer to new types of attacks.

-If the service you're

providing becomes popular, a typical
computer may not have the
necessary resources to
handle all of the requests.
