Analyze your needs to find the right server

Overview


Servers are everywhere and you think you need one to manage files and printers, host a mail server, better secure your company network, or in general do more for you than a desktop can. However, knowing you need a server and actually getting the right one are two different things. This how-to guide will help you understand what a server is, how to decide if you need one, and how to go about finding the right server to meet your needs. The different sections of the guide include:

»  Understand it

»  Plan it
