How Servers Work:

A server is a standalone computer that provides data and other services to one or several other computers on a given network. The main benefit to a server is that it allows centralized management and monitoring of network access and network data, and servers can have power, hard drive and processor redundancies that are typically not available in a PC.

Types of Servers:

File Server: A central storage for files, which can be accessed by client computers

Domain Controller: A server that responds to security authentication requests (logging in, checking permissions, etc.) within the network. A domain is a concept where a user may be granted access to a number of files, folders, network locations with the use of a single username and password combination and can prevent certain users from accessing other private files.

Remote Desktop (Terminal) Server: A Remote Desktop Server (or Terminal Server) provides secure remote access to office and line of business applications to employees or contractors from one centralized server, instead of having each client computer running software. This makes deploying software and adding more employees very scalable and cost-effective.

Web Server: Stores and shares websites over the Internet; many individuals and small companies rent web server space from other companies, but for large companies that experience a lot of traffic, a dedicated web server makes sense.

Server Maintenance Generally Requires The Following:

• checking server log files
• assessing hard disk space
• examining folder permissions
• monitoring network temperature applications
• ensuring adequate redundancy of systems
• examining security features
• installing security software patches
• reading server logs for security alerts or evidence of computer hacking attempts
• updating antivirus software on all computers on the network
• updating critical service packs and software updates
• performing regular comprehensive back-ups to ensure that vital data can be retrieved from storage in the event of a system failure
