server Previous Terms-of-the-Day Term of the Day XML/RSS feed Term of the Day Google Gadget   (serŽver) (n.) A computer or device on a network that manages network resources. There are many different types of servers. For example: File server: a computer and storage device dedicated to storing files. Any user on the network can store files on the server. Print server: a computer that manages one or more printers, and a network server is a computer that manages network traffic. Database server: a computer system that processes database queries. Servers are often dedicated, meaning that they perform no other tasks besides their server tasks. On multiprocessing operating systems, however, a single computer can execute several programs at once. A server in this case could refer to the program that is managing resources rather than the entire computer. Also see the Server Types page in the Quick Reference section of Webopedia for a comparison of server types.  eBook: Getting the Most from Virtualization "Download this Internet.com eBook to learn how to manage virtualization in your datacenter and ensure you get the most from the technology."
