Lesson 1
Intro to Server Computing
Server
It is a physical computer that
provide services to all client
computers connected to it, allowing
them (client computer) to access
available information or resources.
An entity in the client/server
programming model, where the
server is a software or a program,
running on one or multiple
computers, that manages resources
and services of the network, while
handling requests from different
computers to access said resources.
In short, server is a software or
hardware that gives services to other
hardware and software entity.
