(ii) Server application software
29. Web server software: Used to publish and manage websites, receive HTTP requests from clients, and return web page content to the clients. – Common web server software includes Apache HTTP Server (open source, stable, feature-rich, widely used in various types of websites), Nginx (high performance, low resource consumption, good at handling high concurrency requests, often used for reverse proxy and load balancing), Microsoft IIS (highly integrated with Windows Server, suitable for building enterprise internal websites.
30. Database server software: Used for storing, managing, and retrieving data, it is the core of enterprise applications and data processing. Common relational databases include MySQL (open source, lightweight, high performance, suitable for small and medium-sized applications), Oracle Database (powerful, highly secure, and scalable, often used in large enterprise applications), and SQL Server (tightly integrated with the Windows ecosystem, suitable for enterprise-level data management and analysis); non-relational databases include MongoDB (a document-oriented database, suitable for processing unstructured data, widely used in big data and real-time applications) and Redis (an in-memory database with extremely fast read and write speeds, often used in caching, message queues, and other scenarios).
Conclusion
As the “core hub” of data flow, the stability, performance, and adaptability of servers directly affect the normal operation of various network services. This basic knowledge guide aims to provide clear guidance for those new to the server field, offering practical value whether for data center construction, technology selection, or simply for knowledge acquisition.
