server (n.) A computer or device on a network that manages network resources. There are many different types of servers. For example:

1. File server: a computer and storage device dedicated to storing files. Any user on the network can store files on the server.
2. Print server: a computer that manages one or more printers, and a network server is a computer that manages network traffic.
3. Database server: a computer system that processes database queries.

You hear it all the time, “Our servers are down!” and this is never a good thing. These devices house information for internal computer systems, and the internet as we know it. They are a necessary hardware that provides the computing power required to run business software systems. Every time you command your computer or device to access a file, program, or webpage, you are accessing a server.
