Exchange servers : webmail
file servers : file repositories
web servers : web application and sites
database servers : used to house databases such as Oracle, MS SQL Server

Hello

FileServer:Stores network users' data files

Database server:Manages common databases for the network, handling all data storage, database management and requests for data

Webservers:The web server is responsible for hosting website files and serve it up through a web browser. It loads an individual file of a web page and loads it to display in the browser as one complete page

Exchange server:Is a mailserver. its runs exclusively on windows operating systems

Regards,
Christian

A server is a powerful system which provide the resources, information or services to the other computer over the network. you can find different types of server like:

File servers: user can share, distribute or store the file on a server
Print servers: user can used for the management and distribution of printing functionality
Application servers: client computers running applications locally
Web servers: special type of server that hosts programs and data requested by users across the Internet

I'm a bit confused about memory usage, and for some reason I wasn't able to find a single point-of-call to get the amount of memory available. If we take, for instance, the Windows platform: There is * Virtual memory you can allocate (VirtualAlloc) * Global memory you can allocate (GlobalAlloc) * Local memory you can allocate (LocalAlloc)

For example, a command byte "MULDBL" would be followed by 2 doubles (each 8 bytes each). This might be followed by the command byte STRING would be followed by a...

I'm sure this is not a new idea, but I have never heard about it before. I'm wondering if this could work: Assume that you have a common base class and a bunch of classes derived from it, and you want to make a deque which can contain any objects of any of those types. Normally what you would have to do is to make a deque or vector of pointers of the base class type and then allocate each object dynamically with 'new' and store the...
