The role of a network server


Network servers play a variety of roles within an organization today. They can serve as a point of authentication for employees, and they can manage permissions for users at different levels. They offer a central location where users can store and access files, data, and shared resources like printers and scanners.

Network servers improve security by providing an added layer of protection and control measures. They also help improve the reliability of your IT infrastructure and eliminate the possibility of a single point of failure. Network servers make it easier to manage backups and allow remote workers to access the data, applications, and resources they need.
