Web Services

Web Services represents a new platform where the web is used not only for information exchange but also as a new resource to create value added business services. Web Services are self-contained, self-describing, modular business applications or a set of software standards that enable systems in different companies to interact with each other or securely expose their business logic beyond the firewall over the Internet.

Server - Hardware and Software

A server is a networked computer that is used to manage resources. For example, a file server lets users store and access files over a network. While servers share many hardware features with desktop systems, certain technologies are more important in this type of system. These technologies are designed to improve performance as well as fault tolerance - the ability of a system to respond to hardware or software errors in such a way that data and service are not lost.
