Answer Posted / abdul mohinuddin shaik
Server Platforms:- A term often used synonymously with
operating system, a platform is the underlying hardware or
software for a system and is thus the engine that drives
the server.
Application Servers :-
Sometimes referred to as a type of middleware, application
servers occupy a large chunk of computing territory between
database servers and the end user, and they often connect
the two.
Audio/Video Servers :-
Audio/Video servers bring multimedia capabilities to Web
sites by enabling them to broadcast streaming multimedia
content.
Chat Servers :-
Chat servers enable a large number of users to exchange
information in an environment similar to Internet
newsgroups that offer real-time discussion capabilities.
Fax Servers:-
A fax server is an ideal solution for organizations
looking to reduce incoming and outgoing telephone resources
but that need to fax actual documents.
FTP Servers :-
One of the oldest of the Internet services, File Transfer
Protocol makes it possible to move one or more files
securely between computers while providing file security
and organization as well as transfer control.
Groupware Servers:-
A groupware server is software designed to enable users to
collaborate, regardless of location, via the Internet or a
corporate intranet and to work together in a virtual
atmosphere.
IRC Servers:-
An option for those seeking real-time discussion
capabilities, Internet Relay Chat consists of various
separate networks (or "nets") of servers that allow users
to connect to each other via an IRC network.
List Servers :-
List servers offer a way to better manage mailing lists,
whether they be interactive discussions open to the public
or one-way lists that deliver announcements, newsletters,
or advertising.
Mail Servers:-
Almost as ubiquitous and crucial as Web servers, mail
servers move and store mail over corporate networks (via
LANs and WANs) and across the Internet.
News Servers:-
News servers act as a distribution and delivery source for
the thousands of public news groups currently accessible
over the USENET news network.
Proxy Servers:-
Proxy servers sit between a client program (typically a
Web browser) and an external server (typically another
server on the Web) to filter requests, improve performance,
and share connections.
Telnet Servers :-A Telnet server enables users to log on to
a host computer and perform tasks as if they're working on
the remote computer itself.
Web Servers :-
At its core, a Web server serves static content to a Web
browser by loading a file from a disk and serving it across
the network to a user's Web browser. This entire exchange
is mediated by the browser and server talking to each other
using HTTP.
