Computing Server

A computing server is a computer-driven program that can be used for providing functionality for other programs or devices, termed as clients. This architecture is called the client–server model. It has high value in the world of computing as a single computation can be distributed across multiple processes or devices.

The computing servers can deliver numerous functionalities, or services such as performing computation tasks for one client or data or resources sharing among multiple clients. One client can use multiple servers and one single server can serve multiple clients as well. It is a client server system that’s used for various IT related functions today. The intention of using a server is to share data and resources and distribute work. A computer server is capable of serving its own computer programs depending on the demands of the situation. The hardware requirement for servers may vary significantly and would depend on the software and purpose of the server.
