Encyclopedia: Server (computing)

Servers occupy a place in today's world that was occupied by services from other computers on the network. Many servers are dedicated to this but some may also be used for other purposes, particularly when the demands placed upon them as servers are not high. For example, in a small office, a large desktop computer may act as both a workstation for one person in the office and as a server for all the other computers in the office. The term 'Server' originates from the word 'Serve', therefore this computer system is mainly serving the whole network in some way, either by printing jobs for several users, or acting as a file server for applications that online terminals could access. The name 'Server' is another term given to 'Host computer'.
