| A Brief Note for Windows NT Server |
| ||||||
| The variety of tasks that servers must perform is varied and complex. Servers for large networks have become specialized to accommodate the expansion needs of users. For example, in a Windows NT Server network, the different type of servers include the following: - File and Print Servers - Application Servers - Mail Servers - Fax Servers - Communication Servers ____________________________________________________________ FILE AND PRINT SERVERS: File and Print servers manage user access and use of file and printer resources. For example, if you are running a word processing application, the word processing application would run on your computer. The word processing document stored on the file and print server is loaded into your computer's memory so that you can edit or use it locally. In other words, file and print servers are for file and data storage. ____________________________________________________________ APPLICATION SERVERS: Application servers make the server side of client/server applications, as well as the data, available to clients. For example, servers store vast amounts of data that is structured to make it easy to retrieve. This differs from a file and print server. With a file and print server, the data or file is downloaded to the computer making the request. With an application server, the database stays on the server and only the results of a request is downloaded to the computer making the request. A client application running locally would access the data on the application server. Instead of the entire database being downloaded from the server to your local computer, only the results of your query would be loaded onto your computer. For example, you could search the employee database for all employees who were born in November. ____________________________________________________________ MAIL SERVERS: Mail servers manage electronic messaging between network users. ____________________________________________________________ FAX SERVERS: Fax servers manage fax traffic into and out of network, by sharing one or more fax modem boards. ____________________________________________________________ COMMUNICATION SERVERS: Communication servers handle data flow and e-mail messages between the server's own network and other networks, mainframe computers, or remote users using modems and telephone lines to dial in to the server. Directory services servers to enable users to locate, store, and secure information on the network. Windows NT Server combines computers into logical groupings, called domains, which allow any user on the network to be given access to any resource on the network. Planning for various servers becomes important with an expanded network. The planner must take into account any anticipated network growth so that network will not be disrupted if the role of a specific server needs to be changed. |
