A server is a single computer that
stores and manages information and acts as a hub to connect other
computers and devices, or "clients." With a server you can share
files and resources, such as faxes and printers, in a secure manner.
A server also provides data backup and storage, as well as e-mail
and Internet access. For example, with a server network, multiple
employees can access the Internet or company e-mail at the same
time, or share the same fax machine and other office equipment. The
result? You save time and money, you protect your business data, and
you increase efficiencies.
With client/server
networks you can centralize files and share printers and an Internet
connection, which can lead to greater productivity and cost savings.
Windows Small Business Server 2003
is specifically designed to provide small businesses with many of
the features used by large companies — e-mail, Internet connections,
business intranets, remote connectivity, support for Windows Mobile devices, file and print sharing, data backup and restore — all in
one affordable, integrated solution.
