From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A server computer, sometimes called an enterprise server, is a computer system that provides essential services across a network, to private users inside a large organization or to public users in the internet.

Many servers have dedicated functionality such as web servers, print servers, and database servers.

Enterprise servers are known to be very fault tolerant, for even a short-term failure can cost more than purchasing and installing the system. For example, it may take only a few minutes' down time at a national stock exchange to justify the expense of entirely replacing the system with something more reliable.
