Can you use a desktop PC as a server?
• While it’s possible to use a desktop PC as a
server, keep in mind that desktop PCs are
designed and optimized for
individual
productivity, not network productivity.
• Compared to PCs, servers are specially
optimized and certified for Network
Operating Systems, provide more room for
expansion, and offer special server
management tools and features to ensure
data integrity, reliability, and security in a
networked environment.
• For the same price, a dedicated server is the
best value for the money.
