The need to easily share data, controlling security, and easily manage all the devices on a network are all common among every one of today’s modern business. The best way to meet all of these needs is a server. What is the purpose of a server, you might ask. “Servers perform functions ranging from file storage and managing printers to offering database services. Large companies often maintain individual servers dedicated to one task, such as email,” – Houston Chronicle. A server is a system that runs software designed to accomplish all of these tasks, and more. Sometimes a server will run programs that all the workstations on a network will log into and access. Simply stated, a server is the hub in a business’ day-to-day operations.
