The document discusses objectives for learning about server operating systems including different types of server OS, features to consider when choosing one, and an overview of leading vendors like Windows Server 2016. It defines servers as computers that process and deliver data to other computers over networks. Server OS are designed specifically for servers to interface between users and applications/systems and help manage large amounts of data 24/7 with networking, security, backups and other features. Factors to consider for a server OS include administration, security, features, performance, hardware requirements and scalability.
1. objectives
– To learn about server OS
– Different types of server OS and their feutures
– Things to consider when choosing a server OS
– Knowing about leading server OS vendors
– Windows server 2016 & new feutures of it including
applications.
2. What is Server:
• A server is a computer designed to process requests and
deliver data to another computer over the internet or a
local network.
• “Servers Are the Heart of the Internet”.
• The word "server" is understood by most to mean a web
server where webpages can be accessed over the
internet through a client like a web browser. However,
there are several types of servers, including local ones
like file servers that store data within
an intranet network.
5. What is server OS ?
•A server operating system, also called a server OS,
is an operating system specifically designed to run
on servers, which are specialized computers that
operate within a client/server architecture to serve
the requests of client computers on the network.
6. What is necessary !
• Basically what server OS does it, it provides an
interface between the user and the system or
application which can be graphical (windows
server) or terminal/ command line based on the
OS you are using.
• To help manage, store , send and process data
large number of documents and their files into 24
hours a day , 7 days a week 365 days in a year.
7. • Flexible networking capabilities , tigtht system
security, transparent data transfer between
different devices . Automation capabilities.
• Advanced backup facilities to permit regular
and frequent online backups of critical data
8. Things to look for a server OS
• Administration: what tools are available and
how easy are they to use.
• Security:
and the h
perhaps the
ardest to jud
most important feature
ge and get right.
• Features: does it have the specific services you
want built it (for instance or an FTP server for
remote file access).
9. • Performance: is the server OS, and the
hardware platform it runs on, fast enough for
your needs.
• Hardware requirements: whether the server OS
can run intel or AMD hardware or whether it
requires a proprietary platform.
• Scalability: how many clients can reasonable
access this system.
11. • Definition :
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.
12. • Powerful computers
• Always run a network
• More powerful, more secure and
more reliable.
