It's noisy, it's cold it smells like electronics. It's function is to keep the employees happy and productive...

A specialized network server that provides access to resources on the network for users not directly attached to the network or that permits network users to access external resources not directly attached to the network.\n\nCommunication may be Internet, dial-up or other methods.

Too many variables to answer this question. I.E., how big is it, what function will it serve, how many people will it hold, what will it look like, amneties, etc?

If you want a server at your company see if you can afford one. I think Sun Microsystem makes servers.

If you want a server to remain stable and have close to 24/356 uptime, you don't want a Windows server. If the Windows clients will be like dumb terminals, you might need to put some work into getting your clients to work with your non-Windows server, but for most purposes...\n\nLinux all the way.\n"Know-how" isn't even required if you use Fedora Core, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or SUSE (among others), and their graphical server configuration tools.

Look at what other providers can supply.  Are you going to hve guaranteed server up time?  What about back-ups of the data should a server go down or the data is lost?  If you are offering a special service for weddings you have to make sure it is perfect - this is a special day for people and if you mess it up you will not get much business.  Get it right and you will get lots.  Price in itself isn't normally an issue, it's value for money.  If you provide excellent quality and services, you can charge more.\n\nHope that helps

hmmm..... media player? boohh......\ndns server? boooh....\nit's so lame.\n\nif you want to find a 'bunch' of inspiration for your project, goto this site\nhttp://sourceforge.net/\n\nbtw, if you have decide what program you want to build, post it in your comment later.

1. Home-based: set up your own server and attach it to your ISP connection (if permitted).\n2. Free web hosting provider (you might have to tolerate ads).\n3. Paid web hosting provider, managed. (You provide content only, usually template-based).\n4. Paid web hosting provider, unmanaged. (You control the server and content. VPS (or VDS) servers are great for this).\n5. Rent rack space in data center and install your own server. (Probably not an option, or you wouldn't have to ask).\n\nOr did you want technologies?\n\n1. Learn HTML.\n2. Use FrontPage (or Composer, or DreamWeaver, etc.)\n3. Use Flash (yuck).\n4. Use templates.\n5. Hire a web designer.

server(s) and some backup servers or something and fast internet

1. Secure the server. protect it from physical damage. limit access to the server.\n2. Database Connections: use trusted ip. only answer predefined addresses. all connections should be uniquely identified and controlled.\n3. Table Access Control. reads should be read-only. writes access should be limited to the tables necessary to accomplish the tasks\n4. Restricting Database Access: protect ports that are open on the network.

Depending upon your server type I would recommend 2 different  resources\n\nASP NovoVM\nphp CentricCRM\n\nalso try freecrm.com

That's a pretty vague question-how big is the restaurant?\n\nFigure you will need 1 server for every 4 tables. A hostess. A busboy (unless you want the servers to bus). At least 2 or 3 cooks. You will also need a cleaning service that comes in at the end of the day.

Depends on what you need and where your experience is.  Plus "servers" can mean OPERATING SYSTEMS or APPLICATION SERVERS (WEB SERVERS).\n\nWEB SERVERS:\n\napache - most common, stable, secure, by far.\n\nOPERATING SYSTEMS:\n\nFreeBSD - Most would say it is the most stable, best security, and its FREE\n\nLinux - has more people developing on it, so it can do things FreeBSD can't, it is FREE\n\nSun/Solaris is expensive, but also good\n\nMicrosoft servers suck, but sometimes are good for microsoft solutions.

A server is a computer that delivers information to another. The ones you probably see most frequently are web servers, that delivers HTML pages to your computer so you can see them, or streaming audio servers, that sends audio information to your computer so you can listen to Internet radio.\n\n'Hosting' means that a person or company with a server ('host') offers to let it deliver *your* information, like your web page. You often have to pay for it, but in exchange they make sure that their server is always accessible (ready to deliver information), keeps your data safe from hackers and crashes, etc.

That depends on what you are using it for. You don't use one server for everything. If you do and it goes down you are out of business. There should be a Web server, a domain controller, a file server, mail server, a gateway, etc. There are a lot of different things that you need for a business. Look for a plan and go from there.

A data center is a facility used for housing a large amount of electronic equipment, typically computers and communications equipment. As the name implies, a data center is usually maintained by an organization for the purpose of handling the data necessary for its operations. A bank for example may have a data center, where all its customers' account information is maintained and transactions involving this data are carried out. \n\nPractically every company that is mid-sized or larger has some kind of data center with the larger companies often having dozens of data centers. Most large cities have many purpose-built data center buildings in secure locations close to telecommunications services. Most colocation centers and Internet peering points are located in these kinds of facilities.\n\nAs data is a crucial aspect of most organizational operations, organizations tend to be very protective of their data. A data center must therefore keep high standards for assuring the integrity and functionality of its hosted computer environment. This is depicted in its physical and logical layout.\n\nBefore the dot com crash, millions of square meters of general-purpose data centers were built in the hope of filling them with servers for web hosting and application service providers. However this demand never materialized.\n\n\nPhysical layout\n\nA data center can occupy one room of a building, one or more floors, or up to the whole building. Most of the equipment is often in the form of servers racked up into 19 inch rack cabinets, which are usually placed in single rows forming corridors between them. Servers differ greatly in size from 1U servers to huge storage silos which occupy many tiles on the floor. This allows people access to the front and rear of each cabinet. Some equipment such as mainframe computers and storage devices are often as big as the racks themselves, and are placed alongside them. 1U represents one rack unit of space. A Rack Unit is 1.75 inches in height (44.49 mm). The sizes are believed to have been derived from telecomms equipment in the second world war.\n\n\nThe physical environment of the data center is usually under strict control:\n\n* Air conditioning is used to keep the room cool, generally around 17 degrees Celsius (about 63 degrees Fahrenheit). This is crucial since electronic equipment in a confined space generates much excess heat, and tends to malfunction if not adequately cooled.\n\n* Backup power is catered for via one or more uninterruptible power supplies and/or diesel generators.\n    \n* To prevent single points of failure, all elements of the electrical systems, including backup system, are typically fully duplicated, and critical servers are connected to both the "A-side" and "B-side" power feeds.\n\n* Data centers typically have raised flooring made up of 60 cm (2 ft) removable square tiles. These provide a plenum for air to circulate below the floor, as part of the air conditioning system, as well as providing space for power cabling. Data cabling is typically routed through overhead cable trays in modern data centers.\n\n* Data centers often have elaborate fire prevention and fire extinguishing systems. Modern data centers tend to have two kinds of fire alarm systems; a first system designed to spot the slightest sign of particles being given off by hot components, so a potential fire can be investigated and extinguished locally before it takes hold (sometimes, just by turning smoldering equipment off), and a second system designed to take full-scale action if the fire takes hold. Fire prevention and detection systems are also typically zoned, and high-quality fire-doors and other physical fire-breaks used, so that even if a fire does break out it can be contained and extinguished within a small part of the facility.\n   \n* Using conventional water sprinkler systems on operational electrical equipment can do just as much damage as a fire.
