    The document discusses different types of servers: - DNS servers contain databases of network names and addresses and help devices find each other on a network. - Print servers manage print requests and statuses, and are used in both large and small office networks. - File servers provide central storage and allow network users to access and share files across a network. - Proxy servers allow clients to indirectly connect to other network services by routing requests through the proxy server. - Web servers deliver web pages by fetching files like index.html and sending them to browsers. - Mail servers route emails between senders and recipients by passing messages through a series of mail servers.

    Explain Different types of Servers

    DNS

    A DNS server is any computer registered to join the Domain Name System. A DNS server
    runs special-purpose networking software, features a public IP address, and contains a
    database of network names and addresses for other Internet hosts.

    Print Server
    A print server is a software application, network device or computer that manages print
    requests and makes printer queue status information available to end users and network
    administrators. Print servers are used in both large enterprise and small or home office
    (SOHO ) networks.

    File Server
    In the client/server model, a file server is a computer responsible for the central storage and
    management of data files so that other computers on the same network can access the files. A
    file server allows users to share information over a network without having to physically
    transfer files by floppy diskette or some other external storage device. Any computer can be
    configured to be a host and act as a file server. In its simplest form, a file server may be an
    ordinary PC that handles requests for files and sends them over the network. In a more
    sophisticated network, a file server might be a dedicated network-attached storage (NAS)
    device that also serves as a remote hard disk drive for other computers, allowing anyone on
    the network to store files on it as if to their own hard drive.
    A program or mechanism that enables the required processes for file sharing can also be
    called a file server. On the Internet, such programs often use the File Transfer Protocol
    (FTP).

    Proxy Server
    A proxy server is a computer that offers a computer network service to allow clients to make
    indirect network connections to other network services. A client connects to the proxy server,
    then requests a connection, file, or other resource available on a different server.

    Web Server
    Web servers are computers that deliver (serves up) Web pages. Every Web server has an IP
    address and possibly a domain name. The server then fetches the page named index.html and
    sends it to your browser.

    Any computer can be turned into a Web server by installing server software and connecting
    the machine to the Internet. There are many Web server software applications, including
    public domain software and commercial packages.

    Mail Server
    A mail server is the computerized equivalent of your friendly neighborhood mailman.
    Every email that is sent passes through a series of mail servers along its way to its
    intended recipient. Although it may seem like a message is sent instantly - zipping from
    one PC to another in the blink of an eye - the reality is that a complex series of transfers
    takes place. Without this series of mail servers, you would only be able to send emails to
    people whose email address domains matched your own.

    Provide the different types of servers that you would have to utilize in this solution and
    comprehensively analyze and compare the different types of servers available in the
    market (based on the cost and benefits of them) and make the best selection. Justify
    your answer.

    We have chosen HP G8 ML350p (668267-005) as the server computer for LRC Lanka (PVT) ltd. This
    server pc supports Microsoft Windows platforms (Operating system) and supports Linux also. Compare
    to other severs this cost is reasonable.

    It has more RAM memory, memory slots, and Maximum cache than other servers and it support 1000-
    base specific standard. In future if we need to extend our network we can increase the main memory.
    That’s why I prefer this for our given scenario.
