Server Software is usually implemented in companies to administer and secure data and applications more efficiently for all connected computers. Also individual workplace computers as such can be managed and coordinated much easier by server software. Individual users can be granted application and user specific rights. Server software can make sense for different types of servers, i.e. for classic company servers as well as for database servers and webservers.
