As the number of users increases, the reliability of that machine would become higher, making it more difficult for the user using that system. Let's say when you get a problem with the system and you reboot the system while other people are already accessing or processing something from the same system, you could lose your data. Not a good thing. This is where a Server comes in. It gives you centralized access.
Hence every Penny counts. Are you keeping count of all the money you earn in business? Do you have a system in place which tells you the history and trend in your money earned and spent? Good accounting software can do this for you.
If you have only one server and you have a person that manages multiple desktops, then there's a reasonable chance that your desktop support can manage the server. Server engineers become a requirement if
a) You need them to support client-server based applications like websites or email
b) You have multiple servers with technology specific to servers, like RAID, virtualization, or a domain/directory.
- Network types : ITEGY provides solutions for all types of networks. Understanding the varying system features will help you in selecting the network that best suits your needs.
- Personal Area Network (PAN) : PAN is the smallest of the network types. This network consists of an individual’s computer and any connecting devices, such as printers, PDAs or iPods.
- Local Area Network (LAN) : This is the most common type of network solution. It connects you to multiple computers in your home or work via cable or wireless connections.
- Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) : MANs usually connect LAN and WAN in a metropolitan area and do not extend past a city or town’s geographic boundaries. This type of network is generally open to the public.
- Wide Area Network (WAN) : This network type is a step higher then MAN networks. They cross city and national borders with the use of routers. WAN networks are not open to the public like MAN networks.

Again, if it's only one server used for data storage, then it's quite likely that your desktop management group can handle it
(if they have time, dedication and inclination). In general, if you end up with multiple servers running dedicated applications, then you'll have enough work to justify a dedicated server engineer.
