3e Network components and Servers
  1. Servers
    1. File servers
      1. Stores users and shared files on a network. Usually a set amount of storage set for each user.
      2. Proxy Servers
        1. Manages internet access
          1. Stores visited webpages in cache for faster access for next visit
            1. Filter access to webpages to block unwanted pages
              1. Firewall to examine data and block undesirable data
            2. Application Servers
              1. Stores software to be used across network
                1. Store software so it can be run from server by client's computer
                  1. Increases network traffic but saves storage, memory and processing on client
                  2. Store installation files to deploy software to client computers.
                    1. Reduces traffic but increases storage and processing needed on client computer
                2. Mail Servers
                  1. Manages all email for an organisation
                    1. Receives all mail and puts each in appropriate inbox
