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

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
