Servers

A server is the glue that holds your entire technology structure in place. The other computers in your office certainly have their own jobs, but they depend on the quality and stability of the server you choose.

There are two types of servers...dedicated servers and shared servers, or "server/workstations". A dedicated server is not used by staff members at all...generally they are located in a server closet and are not easily accessible. Why? Simply because they are not meant to be used by people...but by the other computers on the network.

However, a shared server does have it's place. If you are starting a new dental office, a shared server can often be used to help keep technology costs under control as your new practice builds. The typical role of a shared server is that of an administrative workstation.

A dedicated server is a must for today's high-tech dental office. Practice management systems consume more resources than ever, they need more memory than ever, and the number of comptuers they must support is growing all the time.

A basic server, or Server/Workstation is the ideal choice where dollars spent is just as important as anything else. With a server workstation, some of the redundancy features of a dedicated server are forgone in favor of holding price at a lower level. Generally, a server/workstation will be used as a data entry

A basic server/workstation is configured to handle the dual roles of being an adequte server and a data entry workstation. They are intended to keep costs down and increase user-interactive functionality. Whereas a dedicated server is intended to just sit there and do nothing but serve data to the other computers on the network, a server/workstation is intended to do that plus BE one of the other computers on the network.

Because a server/workstation is generally the most heavily-used machine on the network, it generally does not suit offices with digital imaging and any more than about 2 chairside machines. A server/workstation that is busy will seem to affect the network performance of all other computers in the office.
