A server runs a specialized operating system that supports multiple users, offering a diverse range of services and multi-user applications, such as cloud storage, file sharing, shared programs, and enterprise resource planning, among many others.
Choosing the right server and workstation depends on the operating system, RAM, processors, and scalability, among other factors.

To function as a server, a device must be configured to listen to requests from clients on a network connection. This functionality can exist as part of the operating system as an installed application, role, or a combination of the two.
When a client requires data or functionality from a server, it sends a request over the network. The server receives this request and responds with the appropriate information. This is the request and response model of client-server networking, also known as the call and response model. Some brands we carry, install, maintain, and support include:
