This document discusses different types of servers. It describes file servers, which store and share files across a network. Print servers manage shared printers. Email servers function like a virtual post office, storing and routing messages. Database servers provide database services and functionality to other programs and computers, with examples including Oracle, DB2, and SQL Server. Requirements for file servers include a minimum of 4GB RAM, 80GB storage, and 4-8 processor cores depending on deployment size.

What is a SERVER?
Servers are the one that is
responsible to provide response to each
client’s request simultaneously.
A Server may be responsible to
process a single request or more than
one request at a time.

5. File Servers
o A file server may be dedicated or non-
dedicated.
o A dedicated server is designed
specifically for use as a file server not
for other database purposes.
o File servers may also be categorized by the
method of access: Internet file servers are
frequently accessed by File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) or by HTTP (but are different
from web servers, that often provide
dynamic web content in addition to static
files).
6. File Servers
o File server is a computer attached to a
network, that has the primary purpose to
share
contents (such as documents, sound
files, photographs, movies, images,
databases, etc.) that can be accessed by
the other computers that are attached to
the network.
o
A
file server is not intended to
perform
computational tasks, and does not run
programs on behalf of its clients.
7. File Servers
o It is designed primarily to enable the
storage and retrieval of data while the
computation is carried out by the
workstations.
o File servers are commonly found in
schools and offices and rarely seen in
local internet service providers using
LAN to connect their client computers.

Storage
• 80 GB or greater for system drive.
• You must have sufficient space for the
base installation and sufficient space for
diagnostics such as logging, debugging,
creating memory dumps, and so on.

14. Print Servers
A print server may be a networked
computer with one or more shared printers.
Alternatively a print server may be a
dedicated device on the network, with
connections to the LAN and one or more
printers.
Print server functionality may be integrated
with other devices such as a wireless router,
a firewall, or both.
15. Print Servers
A printer may have a built-in print server.
All printers with the right type of
connector are compatible with all print
servers; manufacturers of servers make
available lists of compatible printers
because a server may not implement all
the communications functionality of a
printer (low ink signal, etc.).
16. Print Servers
Possible to have more than one
Printers.
If more than one Client’s want to process a
same printer, than print Request are
18. E-Mail Servers
Often referred to as simply "mail server",
an e-mail server is a computer within
your
network that works as your virtual post
office.
A mail server usually consists of a
storage area where e-mail is stored for
local users, a set of user definable rules
which determine how the mail server
should react to the destination of a
specific message.
19. E-Mail Servers
A database of user accounts that the mail
server recognizes and will deal with locally.
This means each users will be stored in
particular Email Providers Database. Ex:
Yahoo, Gmail, Rediff, Hot mail.
Generally the person(s) responsible for the
maintenance of the e-mail server (editing
users, monitoring system activity) are
referred to as the postmaster.
20. Database Server
A database server is a computer program
that provides database services to other
computer programs or computers.
Database management systems
frequently provide database server
functionality, and some DBMS’s (e.g.,
My SQL) rely exclusively on the client–
server model for database access.
21. Database
Servers
In a master-slave model, database master
servers are centralized and primary locations
of data while database slave servers are
synchronized backups of the master acting
as proxies.
Some examples of Database servers are
Oracle, DB2, Informix, Ingres, SQL Server.
Every server uses its own query logic and
structure.
22. Database
Servers
Such a server is accessed either
through a "front end“ at the "back end"
which runs on the server and handles
tasks such as data analysis and
storage.
The back-end, sometimes called a
database server, performs tasks such
as data analysis, storage, data
manipulation, archiving, and other non-
