IF01047Server A computer connected to a network that other computers may or may not access. Unlike other computers on a network, a server is a dedicated computer set up for one or more purposes. For example, a user may setup a server to authenticate and allow or prohibit users from accessing a network, and/or may be setup to manage print jobs, and/or host a website. Because servers commonly serve a high need, they are up all day and night; and when they fail, they commonly cause the network users or company a great deal of problems. Some server failures can cause a company and its employees to come to a complete halt in their work until they return. Because of this, servers are commonly high-end computers and are setup to be fault tolerant. Did this Article Give you the Information You Were Looking For?
