Network Servers

Are you curious to learn about network servers? Some examples of network servers include file and print servers on LANs, web servers, and mail servers. Typically, file and print servers get combined into one server to be used in a network. They are used to manage data storage and all the printers on your company’s network. They regulate resources and requests for the various applications on your network. File servers also act as a central storage place for your network applications.

Mail servers manage local and global email. Mail servers can manage listservs and mass emailing, but sometimes you want one that is dedicated to those tasks. In that case, there are list servers for that purpose. Web servers allow users to attach to your server to view your Web pages.

Building Your Own Network Server

One reason people like to use barebones servers is because they integrate motherboards and quality cases that are customized to fit them. Another reason is for their power supplies–they are specifically designed and tested to support the system as a whole. Finally, the cases are designed for maximum cooling for that particular combination of CPU and motherboard. Some people believe that barebone systems are easier to configure, maintain and support for users as well as resellers.
