Your Information Technology Resource Center

A server centrally manages resources that are used by multiple users in a network. It's much more powerful than a desktop PC, and it serves a very different purpose.

Servers are usually dedicated, meaning that they perform no other tasks besides their server tasks. Servers can be used to store files, manage print queues, host the entire company's email, as well as a bunch of other specialized tasks depending on your needs.

Using a server is advantageous because one person's computer doesn't need to be bogged down by people repeatedly accessing their hard drive. Also, storing the most important data on one server makes regular data backup that much easier.
