Types of servers......


1. Real-Time Communication Servers
Also known as chat servers or IRC, and sometimes known as instant messaging (IM) servers, these servers are meant to allow huge number users to exchange information instantly.

2. FTP Servers
This is one of the oldest of the Internet services available. The FTP or File Transfer Protocol allows the users to securely transfer one or more files of any size between two computers.

3. Collaboration Servers
In many ways, collaboration software, once called 'groupware,' demonstrates the original power of the Web. Collaboration software designed to enable users to collaborate, regardless of location, via the Internet or a corporate intranet and to work together in a virtual atmosphere.

4. List Servers
List servers lets users better manage their mass mailing lists like open interactive discussions or one-way lists to deliver newsletters, announcements or advertising.

5. Telnet Servers
The Telnet server lets the users on to a host computer control and work on remote computers.

6. Web Servers
At its core, a Web server serves static content to a Web browser by loading a file from a disk and serving it across the network to a user's Web browser. This entire exchange is mediated by the browser and server talking to each other using HTTP.

7. Virtual Servers
A virtual server is a web server which shares its resources with multiple users. It's another way of saying that multiple web sites share the resources of one server.

8. Proxy Servers
Proxy server is a server which acts as an intermediary for requests between the users and the servers. Client connects to the proxy server and the proxy server evaluates the requests sent by the users simplifies them and control their complexities.

9. Mail Servers
Mail servers help in moving and storing the e-mail over a network via LANs and WANs or across the Internet.

10. Server Platforms
Normally used in same context with that of operating systems, server platforms are the platforms that are under the hardware or software of a system and the hence in the engine that drives the server.

11. Open Source Servers
Similar to server platforms, Open source server are referred to the underlying open source operating system used in the IT infrastructures of the companies.

12. Application Servers
Application servers are a type of middleware which connects the database servers and the app users.

Understanding the Evolution: AI, ML, Deep Learning, and Gen AI

In the ever-evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), one of the most intriguing advancements is the emergence of General AI (Gen AI). To grasp its significance, it's essential to first distinguish between these interconnected but distinct technologies. AI, ML, and Deep Learning: The Building Blocks Artificial Intelligence refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. Machine Learning, a subset of AI, empowers machines to learn from data and improve over time without explicit programming. Deep Learning, a specialized subset of ML, involves neural networks with many layers (hence "deep"), capable of learning intricate patterns from vast amounts of data. Enter General AI (Gen AI): Unraveling the Next Frontier Unlike traditional AI systems that excel in specific tasks (narrow AI), General AI aims to replicate human cognitive abilities across various domains.

Normalization of Database

Database Normalisation is a technique of organizing the data in the database. Normalization is a systematic approach of decomposing tables to eliminate data redundancy and undesirable characteristics like Insertion, Update and Deletion Anamolies. It is a multi-step process that puts data into tabular form by removing duplicated data from the relation tables. Normalization is used for mainly two purpose, Eliminating reduntant(useless) data. Ensuring data dependencies make sense i.e data is logically stored. Problem Without Normalization Without Normalization, it becomes difficult to handle and update the database, without facing data loss. Insertion, Updation and Deletion Anamolies are very frequent if Database is not Normalized. To understand these anomalies let us take an example of  Student  table.
