SharePoint Server Roles
Web Front End: Is a server that hosts web applications that users access with a browser or other types of clients. A large farm will contain multiple Web Front Ends.

SharePoint Server Roles
Application Server : Hosts the background services like the search service and the web analytics service. In a large farm, it is possible to have multiple application servers with each of the servers running a different set of services for optimal load balancing.
SQL Server : Hosts Microsoft SQL Server and the many databases that support a typical farm. A large farm may have several SQL Servers acting as a high performance and high availability cluster.

IIS, ASP.NET 3.5, Windows, and SQL Server

File Locations and Storage

Core List Definitions
