Why Do We Need Windows Server?
Contents

Servers are what we use to build the fabric upon which we trust our data to reside. We traditionally think about servers using a client-server interface mentality. A user opens a program on their client computer, this program reaches out to a server in order to retrieve something, and the server responds as needed.

What is the purpose of Windows Server?

Microsoft Windows Server OS (operating system) is a series of enterprise-class server operating systems designed to share services with multiple users and provide extensive administrative control of data storage, applications and corporate networks.

Why do we need a server?

A server is essential in providing all the services that are needed across a network, be it for large organisations or for private users on the internet. Servers have a fantastic ability to store all the files centrally and for different users of the same network to use the files whenever they need.
