Servers are everywhere these days. They can help you manage files and printers, host a mail server, better secure your company network, and generally do more for you than a desktop can. However, knowing that you need a server and actually getting the right one are two different things. This how-to guide will help you understand what a server is, how to decide if you need one, and how to go about finding the right server to meet your needs. The different sections of the guide include:
» Understand it: find out how servers are different from desktop systems and how to decide if you need a server.
» Plan it: evaluate a solution you need a server for in practical terms like software, data, and users.
» Do it: see how one business found the right server for its needs in a success story.
» Use it: learn more about the tools and resources from HP that can make the selection process easier.
» Next: Understand it
