The history of server hardware is fascinating, because it reveals just how rapidly the technology evolves and its role in data center development.

In its most basic form, a server is a computing program or device that provides a service to another computing program or device, also known as the client.

Today, there are many types of servers, such as application servers, proxy servers, file servers, policy servers and virtual servers. Though, the most notable event in server hardware history begins with the invention of the world's first web server in 1990.
