• Authentication- this domain controller is made only for routine security processes. Due to this, it can perform these processes much faster than another server that is busy running programs and processing resources. Using a domain controller makes it easier for a user to access the domain and network, and the time savings are often rather large if this is used across a big network. Resource Authentication. Aside from authenticating users, domain controllers are also used to authenticate…
Extending from this, IBM, Sun Microsystems and Hewlett Packard are the main companies that specialise in mid-range servers. A mid-range server is commonly used by tiny to mid-sized businesses to serve as a connector of a network of PCs together in order to transmit or receive important files, for efficient communication and process other activities.
