The Types of Servers

From the CISA exam perspective, it is important that you understand the basic workings of the following servers:

Print server: For multiple users, a network printer is configured. Printing materials are captured in the print server and sent to the printer in a queue.

File server: A file server helps in centralizing document repositories. It should be controlled with access restrictions. The file server makes group collaboration and document management easy.

Application or program server: An application server hosts software programs. It also includes application business logic and communication with the application’s database.

Web server: A web server provides information and services through web pages. They are accessed through their URLs.

Proxy server: A proxy service provides a connection between users and resources. It prevents direct access to the network and other resources.

Database server: A database server stores data and information. It acts as a repository. Data is used by application servers and web servers for processing.
