The server and the workstation can have an identical hardware configuration as differ only on participation in the work of the person behind the console. Some service tasks can be carried out at the workstation in parallel with work of the user. Such workstation is conditionally called not dedicated server. Requirements to working capacity and reliability of computers which will be used as servers are rather high: many times it is more computing power, RAM, place on the hard drive, than at the normal home computer. It is necessary in order that the computer could cope with numerous requests which number can reach tens of thousands and more. Special requirements are also imposed to a program part. The operating system for home computers is ground under needs of ordinary users therefore it is not capable to cope with tasks of the server for which the special server operating system and the additional software depending on requirement of the company, for example the bank software or the processor of video files is necessary. At the same time it is necessary to remember such important issue as security. All correspondence, documents and files in the company should be reliably protected both from cracking, and from accidental situations when only timely backup is able to save data and, thus, to save work of the whole department or all firm.
