What is a Server? • A server is a specialized 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 date backup and storage, as well as e-mail and Internet access.
