Database servers

A database server is a powerful computer that stores, manages, and retrieves data for other computers or applications. Think of it as a central digital filing cabinet housing organized information—such as customer records, transactions, or product details. When you access a website or app, your device sends a request to the database server to get or update data. It ensures data is kept secure, consistent, and available quickly. Essentially, a database server acts as the backbone for handling vast amounts of information efficiently and reliably, supporting everything from small apps to large enterprise systems.
