Types of Servers
The multiple types of servers or types of network servers
are as follows:
Server Platform: Server platform is the fundamental
hardware or software for a system which acts as an engine
that drives the server. It is often used synonymously with
an operating system.
Application Server: Also known as a type of middleware,
it occupies a substantial amount of computing region between
database servers and the end user, and is commonly used to
connect the two.
Audio/Video Server: It provides multimedia capabilities
to websites by helping the user to broadcast streaming
multimedia content.
Chat Server: It serves the users to exchange data in an
environment similar to Internet newsgroup which provides
real-time discussion capabilities.
Fax Server: It is one of the best options for
organizations that seek minimum incoming and outgoing
telephone resources, but require to fax actual documents.
FTP Server: It works on one of the oldest of the
Internet services, the file transfer protocol. It provides a
secure file transfer between computers while ensuring file
security and transfer control.
Groupware Server: It is a software designed that enables
the users to work together, irrespective of the location,
through the Internet or a corporate intranet and to function
together in a virtual atmosphere.
IRC Server: It is an ideal option for those looking for
real-time discussion capabilities. Internet Relay Chat
comprises different network servers that enable the users to
connect to each other through an IRC network.
List Server: It provides a better way of managing
mailing lists. The server can be either open interactive
discussion for the people or a one-way list that provides
announcements, newsletters or advertising.
Mail Server: It transfers and stores mails over
corporate networks through LANs, WANs and across the Internet.
News Server: It serves as a distribution and delivery
source for many public news groups, approachable over the
USENET news network.
Proxy Server: It acts as a mediator between a client
program and an external server to filter requests, improve
performance and share connections.
Telnet Server: It enables the users to log on to a host
computer and execute tasks as if they are working on a
remote computer.
Virtual Servers: A virtual server is just like a
physical computer because it is committed to an individual
customer's demands, can be individually booted and maintains
privacy of a separate computer. Basically, the distance
among shared and dedicated (hosting) servers is reduced
providing freedom to other customers, at a less cost. Now,
it has become omnipresent in the data center.
Web Server: It provides static content to a web browser
by loading a file from a disk and transferring it across the
network to the user's web browser. This exchange is
intermediated by the browser and the server, communicating
using HTTP.
