 Mainframe Computers

Used by large companies for critical applications in bulk data

processing, such as transaction processing, corporate data
management etc. They are larger and have more processing power
than normal computers
 Mainframe Computers
•IBM is a major manufacturer of Mainframes (zEnterprise Systems Range),
followed by Hitachi & Hewlett-Packard. Used commonly in Data Centers
•Typical Prices in India vary from Rs. 3 Lakhs to Rs. 30 Lakhs per machine
 Blade Servers
A blade server is a server cabinet housing multiple thin,
modular circuit boards, called SERVER BLADES. Each blade is
a server on its own, often dedicated to a single application.
The blades are literally servers on a card,
containing processors, memory and integrated network
controllers.

Generally used to store internal corporate data

 Simple Data Servers
A data server is a hardware platform used to provide database
and data management services like storing, processing and
securing data for SMEs.

*Size of a normal CPU

 Proxy Servers
A software that acts as a gateway between a local network and a
larger-scale network such as the Internet and safeguards the local
IP address from the outside networks
•WinGate
•Apache Traffic Server
•TinyProxy
•Squid
•Oracle iPlanet
•Socat
 Email Servers
The server stores incoming mail for distribution to local users and
sends out outgoing messages. This uses a client-server application
model to send and receive messages using Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol (SMTP).

•Gmail
•Outlook
•YahooMail
•iCloud
 Web Servers

incoming requests over HTTP / HTTPS and responds back with the
requested contents / messages.
•Apache
•MS-IIS

Application Servers
An Application
Server offers
services to create
web applications
and serve the

run them.
•IBM Websphere
•Oracle Weblogic
•JBoss
•Adobe Cold

 Thick Client
These are fully featured computers (with HDD, Processors,
Memory etc.) that are connected to a network and provide a
traditional computing environment as standalone devices. It is
independent of the central server in terms of resources and uses
a server only to store / retrieve data.
 Thin Client
A mini device based computer used for establishing a remote
connection to a server. The think client is also sometimes known
as “Diskless Node”. It is void of any hard disk and may have a basic
processor used only for data transfer purpose. Such clients are
extensively used in Banks, Railways, Malls etc. where the purpose
is to use a single dedicated application at all times
 Hybrid Client

A hybrid client is a combination of the Thick and the Thin Clients.

It relies for certain resources on the server for saving resources
and costs, whereas hosts the other resources locally for faster and
easy processing.

Storage device used for storing, organizing, streaming & sharing
music, movies, photos, documents etc. for SOHO segments
