-
Computerized devices designed to manage (allocate) network resources. These devices typically consist of a dedicated computer and/or associated devices (e.g., modems, disc drives) intended to perform a particular set of tasks; dedicated servers are available for processing database queries (i.e., a database server), storing files (i.e., a file server), and to manage one or more printers (i.e., a print server). Network servers are used mainly in healthcare facilities to manage the LAN (local area network) resources of their digital information and/or communication systems.
