Print Servers<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- A print server<\/strong> may be a networked computer with one or more shared printers. Alternatively a print server may be a dedicated device on the network, with connections to the LAN and one or more printers.<\/li>\n
- Print server<\/strong> functionality may be integrated with other devices such as a wireless router, a firewall, or both.<\/li>\n
- A printer may have a built-in print server<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- All printers with the right type of connector are compatible with all print servers; manufacturers of servers make available lists of compatible printers because a server may not implement all the communications functionality of a printer (low ink signal, etc.).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\n
- \n
- Often referred to as simply “mail server”, an e-mail server is a computer within your network that works as your virtual post office.<\/li>\n
- A mail server<\/strong> usually consists of a storage area where e-mail is stored for local users, a set of user definable rules which determine how the mail server should react to the destination of a specific message.<\/li>\n
- A database of user accounts that the mail server recognizes and will deal with locally. This means each users will be stored in particular Email Providers Database. Ex: Yahoo, Gmail, Rediff, Hot mail.<\/li>\n
- Generally the person(s) responsible for the maintenance of the e-mail server (editing users, monitoring system activity) are referred to as the postmaster.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Database Server<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- A database server<\/strong> is a computer program that provides database services to other computer programs or computers.<\/li>\n
- Database management systems frequently provide database server functionality, and some DBMS\u2019s (e.g., My SQL) rely exclusively on the client\u2013server model for database access.<\/li>\n
- In a master-slave model, database master servers are centralized and primary locations of data while database slave servers are synchronized backups of the master acting as proxies.<\/li>\n
- Some examples of Database servers<\/strong> are Oracle, DB2, Informix, Ingres, SQL Server. Every server uses its own query logic and structure.<\/li>\n
- Such a server is accessed either through a “front end\u201c at the “back end” which runs on the server and handles tasks such as data analysis and storage.<\/li>\n
- The back-end, sometimes called a database server<\/strong>, performs tasks such as data analysis, storage, data manipulation, archiving, and other non-user specific tasks.<\/li>\n
- The Diagram represents that two clients system can access the SQL<\/strong> Database of the \u201cTechfuels\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
