What is the Role of a Server in a network ?

Server is the computer that facilitates the sharing of data, software and hardware resources such as printers, modems etc. On a network there may be several servers that allow work stations to share specific resources such as file server for serving files related requests, printer server to take care of printing requirements and modem server to help a group of network user to use modems. Each server has a unique name on the network and all users of network identify the server by its unique name.
