| + | ===== About ===== | ||
| + | Minimally, a Software [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:server|Server]] requires two software components: an operating [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:p:platform|platform]] and an [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:a:application|application]]. The operating platform provides the runtime infrastructure needed to support an application. The platform can include the hardware (real or virtual), the network, the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:o:os]], the dependent services and the software libraries needed to access the services, operating system network and hardware.(( | ||

| + | In order to communicate with the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:client|clients]] in the outside world, typical Software Servers generally use domain names, TCP IP Addresses, ports and MAC addresses. These can be statically assigned or dynamic, as well as, virtual and real. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Some common Software Servers are: | ||
| + | * **Web Servers** are computer programs that serve requested HTML pages or files. In this case, a web browser acts as the client. | ||
| + | * **Application Servers** are programs running on a distributed network that provide the business logic for an application program. | ||
| + | * **Proxy Servers** acts as the intermediary between [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:e:endpoint|endpoint]] devices, such as a computer, and another server from which a user or client is requesting a service. | ||
| + | * **Mail Servers** receive incoming emails from local users (i.e., individuals or applications) within the same domain and from remote senders and forwards outgoing emails for delivery. | ||
