A file-server is essentially a computer with a HUGE hard-drive, masses of RAM and one or more super-fast processors - which is connected to all the other computers on the network. It not only stores programs and data, but also communicates with the computers, printers, plotters and other hardware on the network.
A file server is a computer attached to a network that has the primary purpose of providing a location for the shared storage of computer files(such as documents, photographs, databases, etc.) that can be accessed by the workstations that are attached to the computer network..
Network Attached Storage is short for NAS, which is computer storage connect to a network. RAID is a hard drive or storage container, which provide access to the file network.
No. The CPU is NOT a storage device. It is where the computer does the "thinking" and actual data processing. In fact, the CPU IS the computer itself.
In the past this term was coined as a server. This is a bit of an obselete term as there is now NAS. Network Attached Storage can be used as a full operational computer running file sharing services or sharing-specific distributions of Linux such as FreeNAS. In addition to solutions as FreeNAS or multi-raided storage servers, there are small, private or small-business oriented NAS drives available that are composed of a controller card, a network card, and a housing for one or more harddrives. A good way to see many of these would be to reference NAS on NewEgg or TigerDirect or similar online wholesaler websites, or to check out the larger home oriented solutions available from major retailers like Hewlett-Packard. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/User:Frogsbite What type of network has a computer called a file server that acts as the central storage location?
