Server OSs are devised for platforms acting as application, web, email, and database servers, or other platforms functioning on a designated server. Server OS provides many benefits as compared to standard OS, such as increased memory, unrestricted user connections, and superior network optimizations. A server OS is devised to offer features suited to multiple-user, business-critical applications; it offers central interface to implement security, manage users, and for other administrative processes. A server OS generally focuses on stability, security, and cooperation. Such features offered by server OS are likely to drive the global server operating system market.
Server OSs enable the application of different server platforms, including web, mail, file, database, application, and print servers.
Popular server OS include:
Windows Server – Microsoft devised the Windows OS family for daily personal and professional usage in servers. Windows Server OS assists management at the enterprise-level, data storage, and an extensive range of applications.
Linux – It is free, open-source, and enabling multi-process, multi-user, multi-thread operations. Popular Linux server distributions include Debian Server, Ubuntu Server, OpenSUSE Leap, Fedora, Arch Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) – A paid Linux desktop and server distribution fashioned by Red Hat. While RHEL source code is available freely, Red Hat enforces stringent regulations to restrict its official Linux OS version redistribution.
UNIX-Based Operating Systems – UNIX has come to be a popular client-server environment OS. C is the UNIX programming language; it enabled the formation of UNIX ports for several machines.
NetWare – A server-based network OS that warrants a dedicated server to run.
Such solutions are expected to drive the global server operating system market.
Server operating systems offer several benefits including higher efficiency (by helping decrease reliance on physical servers, leading to increased savings), future-proofing (ensuring long-term sustainability by estimating the expected growth of the corporate network), higher savings (through decreased downtime), and increased performance. Such benefits are expected to help global server operating system market growth.
Server operating systems particularly suited to small, medium and large businesses are available. Small businesses are likely to choose a server OS on the basis of server type, budget, and expertise of the maintenance team. For example, a small business with less than twenty-five users and a small maintenance team might choose a solution like Windows Server Essentials.
Medium-sized businesses may be inclined to choose an OS that enables business growth. A possible example is Ubuntu Server.
Large businesses would most probably choose a server OS on the basis of function and server type.
