A characteristic of a file server is which of the following?

  • A.Manages file operations and is shared on a network.
  • B.Manages file operations and is limited to one PC.
  • C.Acts as a fat client and is shared on a network.
  • D.Acts as a fat client and is limited to one PC.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Manages file operations and is shared on a network.

A file server holds files and serves them to the machines on the network, which then do the processing themselves. This is what makes it different from a database server: the whole file crosses the network rather than the answer to a query, so the network carries far more traffic and the concurrency control is weak.
