A File Server is a computer attached to a network that has
the primary purpose of providing a location for the shared
storage of information (such as documents, sound files,
photographs, movies, images, databases, et cetera) that can
be accessed by the workstations that are attached to the
network. As distinguished from Timesharing or a Mainframe
(where a central computer provides calculation resources
for "dumb" terminals) a File Server is designed primarily
to enable the rapid storage and retrieval of data where the
heavy computation is provided by the workstations.
