I need to know about web servers and network servers?

Question

If I worked in a server room would there be a possibility of working with web and network servers, or just one of the two servers, depending on which company and size of company. What processes would I do all day at work if I worked in a server room? I'm soon getting my associate degree in Computer web specialty, most of what I use is html. What job that I could get with the degree, would you recommend for a starting position where I would get good experience. I first thought web developing would be a good fit for me, but now I thinking about maybe networking or software programming.

Answer 1

The type of server 'web', 'network' etc depends on the software installed, and... well what it's serving.

Answer 2

Hi,

As one of the other guys already said: they are all servers. It just depends on what they are serving..... So rather than to distinguish between "Network" (do you mean "File-Server"?) and "Web" you are probably better off to make a decision for either Microsoft or Unix (Linux, BSD, Solaris...). Both have their strengths. Microsoft dominates the File-Server world whereas Unix is more common in the web-server sphere.

I think that a good idea is also to dig a bit deeper into network security since this is one of the fastest growing sectors in the networking world.

Hope that helped,

Chris
