Answer / raja anil jala

A fornt-end server is a server which is for used security
purpose. this server doesnot hold any mailbox stores or
public folders.
using this fornt-end server we can increase limitation

mailbox stores since these mailbox store are kept in back-
end servers.

front-end servers handles in coming client connections.

in large org. front-end servers simplifies admins with
