| A computer that
stores information for tons of other computers.
In information technology, a
server is a computer program that provides services to other
computer programs (and their users) in the same or other computers.
The computer that a server program runs in is also frequently
referred to as a server (though it may be used for other purposes as
well). In the client/server programming model, a server is a program
that awaits and fulfills requests from client programs in the same
or other computers. A given application in a computer may function
as a client with requests for services from other programs and also
as a server of requests from other programs. |
