Windows File Servers:
File servers running the Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 operating system are ideal for providing access to files for users in medium and large organizations. Windows Server 2003 offers a number of file server solutions, such as Distributed File System (DFS), File Replication service (FRS), Windows server clusters, NTFS permissions, disk quotas, and shadow copies, for enhancing the manageability, scalability, availability, and security of file servers.Linux File Servers:
Many small businesses think the servers they use all run Windows operating systems, but many file server appliances are Linux-based systems using Samba for interoperability with their Windows or Mac clients. By using a combination of a Linux server with Samba file sharing software, you can achieve all the desired functionality of a Windows server without the license fees and feature bloat.UNIX File Servers:
The majority of web server applications available on the Internet are intended for use with the Unix OS. This includes many of the scripts, written in languages such as Perl, C, C++, Java, and PHP, which are used to add functionality to web sites.The foundation of the Unix operating system is its reliability. Built with stability and efficiency in mind, the OS uses text-based commands instead of a graphical user interface. The resulting operating system doesn't waste memory or disk space on bells and whistles and is able to do a lot more with a lot less resources than comparable Windows 2000 systems. Many clients who have only 1 domain and need the freedom of a dedicated server will choose the Unix OS because of its scalability even in the lowest hardware sets. A Unix box with 32 or 64 MB of RAM can still run multiple programs with perfect stability. A Windows 2000 machine with similar hardware would not even boot up.
