When we talk about VMWARE ESX servers and the virtual environment (virtualization), we actually need
to start from understanding what are the virtual machines all about. Virtual machine or virtual computer, means that it is a computer & operating system as we know it, only it is based on software (not hardware). Which means all of its characteristics are based on software definition hosted on a physical machine.

What are the e-mail servers? Well, in general it is a computer that works as your own virtual post office.
The e-mail server will consist of database to store the e-mails and e-mail accounts, and communicate with the internal and external networks to deliver the e-mails among the recipients. Mail servers are automatic, and you can set certain configurations, on how you would like your e-mails to be handled.

What is DNS ? well it means “Domain Name System” and it relates to the fact that no matter
how good our memory is, it is easier for us to remember names than numbers. Since any computer/device that is attached to a network, no matter if the network is local or external (Internet), that computer has an IP address (which is how any device is being recognized and attached to the network). Since it might be easy to remember one address (maybe), if you have more than one computer on the network this trick might become a bit complex, so the solution is to turn network IP’s into names.

A Dedicated server, means that you are dedicating a server only for your purposes.
This server is not shared with anyone else, and it’s resources are only for your use and purposes. Mostly what you get from a hosting service is servers as part of the same machines (same hardware) where you get a set of resources as you define them, and they might be a part of a stronger machine, where you get only a part of it, and that machine might serve other servers, and other resources.

Dedicated servers are usually being used on hosting farms.
The Dedication part means that the server is solely yours, and the definitions you require for it, like bandwidth, security, resources and other configurations that you have requested, will be dedicated to you, so you will always have them available.

When we want to use one of the U family servers, to host on our communication cabinet
(usually not for private use – unless you have placed a communication cabinet at your home ), you need to consider a couple of variables in order to understand exactly what type of server do you need and for what purpose. How strong the server needs to be (CPU power, Memory), capacity of hard-disks, how resistant should it be? (Does it need a RAID controller? So how many hard-disks do we need?).

There are different reasons for why we might want to build our own web server at home.
Some might be that we just want to be able to place our own information into the internet, some might be that we want to be able to access information from our home computer at all times and from anywhere. We can use the web server to show our shared directory, to include information, movies, documents, and any other information that we place on our own web server, which is ours and we can do with it whatever we want.

Active Directory is a package designed by Microsoft to manage an organizational network, this package is using different tools to
organize and manage the corporate network. Basically before we get into specifics, the Active Directory is creating a managerial environment, where all of the network clients (end users) are connected to it, and anyone who connects to it is registered and monitored by the Active Directory system. That enables it, to manage the end users, what they are allowed to do, what they can’t, which resources will be available to whom. It creates groups and give those groups policies (group of rules) which binds that group into those rules, and every end user that is defined within this group is bind by it rules, and accordingly can or can’t do things within the network.

What is “Rack-mount“, this is a subject that relates to communication cabinets, those huge rooms with lots of computers. Those computers are being placed in those cabinets, and
