"A Server is not just a physical computer, a Server is actually a role that a computer takes- Because any ordinary desktop computer can be set up as a Server." Excellent!

I was going to go bed but I am going to watch a video about servers instead

As a computer student I can say that this channel is gold.

I really dig the simplicity of your videos. There is no fluff or filler. No wonky background music. The information is concise.. Thus, I learn quickly without having to replay or re-listen. Your channel is my favorite go-to for clarification of techy issues.

Such detailed, well explained, and visually beautiful videos. I am studying for my A+ exam and have realized that I retain majority of the information straight from the book, but in regards to the concepts that are harder to grasp strictly from reading, I like to watch illustrated videos to get a better understanding. PowerCert Animated videos is the best channel hands down when it’s comes to this.

I stumbled on a gold mine! For real I wish there were more channels like yours which help break down stuff the way you do in your videos keep it up!

you deserve to be subscribed after all those effort you have done...i must say you have tremendous level of patience....animating all the stuffs in a single frame of powerpoint would have made me nuts

As someone that continues to grow in their IT career, I always come back to this channel to keep my understanding of basic technologies/concepts sharp. Thank you for this channel and everything you do to help other people strengthen their knowledge.

Power Point level infinity.

This is such a supremely well presented video. Everything from the graphical presentation, the sequencing of information, the presenter's voice quality to the level of content difficulty for beginners would score an A from me. Thanks 👏

Just happened upon this video. As a computer literate person I was blown away by the clarity and the presentation value. I hit the subscribe button, notification bell and the like button. Great work.

This was beautifully animated! I enjoy watching these to make sure I know my stuff!

Your time spent on these videos is not unnoticed - mind blowing creativity and animation

This is the best information I have gotten about servers anywhere, one thing I like about your videos, even if it's on something I think I know, I always learn something new and gain more understanding about that thing.

Wow. This is some of the best teaching in a video format I have ever seen. I genuinely enjoyed learning about servers for the entire 7 minutes instead of being bored in the courses I've paid for. Thank you so much, subbed and I can't wait to dig into your channel.

I've been in IT for some time, but I find revisiting these basic topics to be very helpful. The blunt straightforwardness of the video is fantastic....no fancy language, just the facts ma'am.

You’re cut above the rest in Explaining crucial concept in a clear and simplified ways. Much respect. Thank you so much.

I have been a Software Developer for 30+ years and am very experienced with this technology. Yet, I found your video clear, concise and very helpful to explain these fundamentals while explaining some technological limitations of Intel Core vs. Xeon processors I was wholly unaware of! Thanks and keep up the good work!!

All your animated videos are very clear to follow and explain the tech concepts so well! Thank you for making these videos! Well done!

This channel is more than gold. I am literal noob, who uses computers for commercial purposes only and who literally knows NOTHING about IT. I just started learning stuff, because I was accepted by a company for an interview, but only if I know the basic things. So I am literally starting with 0 knowledge from A, B, C to learn slowly and this channel is amazing. So simple yet informative and easy to grasp. Keep doing what you are doing, you have no idea how much you are helping to people like me

This is by far the best video on explaining servers! So clear and easy to digest.

There was stuff that I didn't know that I didn't know...great video as always...thanks for your efforts ...I really learn from these in unexpected ways

Excellent presentation and well explained. This is probably one of the most underrated videos on UKposts in regards to explaining server. The concept of server has never been more clearer to me before watching this video. Now everything makes sense. Thank you! Keep it up, Sir!

Love your vids bud! They're great refreshers packed with knowledge and you don't jibber-jabber about... you just get right into the meat and potatoes of the information and explain it with top tier graphics. Keep killing it bro!

We all missed you and your amazing videos. As always the harddrive catching on fire with the disclaimer had me rotf!!! You make learning so much fun. Thank you.

always love your explanation on the videos. could you make the playlist for every topic (like network, storage, server and etc) and sort it from the the very basic to more advanced? would be nice for very common people whose trying to learn the IT infra. thanks.

I had to rewatch parts of the video because the animations were so mesmerising. Great video by the way!

I love the art style of you animations. It’s so unique

Man ur videos are so helpful and to the point. Thanks for making our lives much more easier. I just hope u start to add more videos per month. Please consider the following topics: - OSI model OR tcp/ip - basic troubleshooting videos

Thank you for providing QUALITY content that is simplified and visually appealing to the eye on our attention spans. I’ve learned so much on this channel thanks to you. You are amazing sir. Keep up the great work.

I've now got to a point were I just write what to look up at collage and then come to this channel to see if there's a video on the topic coz my teacher is bad at explaining things but some how I instantly get it at the end of this channels videos. I thanks any higher being for your presence on this earth and you for what you do!

I am taking the Google IT Support Certificate Program on Coursera (6-8 month program), and after I watch every video lesson in the program, I come to this guy and search for the topic I just learned about. Nine times out of 10, he has videos that explain the topic clearer and more concisely. All of the videos have been super-helpful, especially the more complicated topics I had troubles with initially, like NAT and DHCP.

Currently studying for a few IT certs, this channel is amazing. Thanks for making great content

I was just thinking about this topic the other day! You came right on time, thank you!!

Superb and concise high level overview of servers and their use. Fantastic illustrations! Subbed !

I was almost about to say "I use an old Optiplex as a server" but you covered that. A server is a system everyone connects to: In businesses this is most often specialized hardware, but enthusiasts often repurpose older desktops as home servers for various things. Using desktop computers as servers is pretty common for games, and the norm for MUDs in particular because even a large MUD requires practically nothing. Install Linux and go. In older games your computer (or even console) might become a server temporarily to host a match.

You did an AWESOME job at visually and verbally breaking down this explanation. Thank you SO MUCH!

I used to have a laptop set up as a file and print server many years ago (before consumer NAS setups and WiFI printers were common)

I'm glad I found this page. I've worked for a couple large communication companies (internet, cable, and VOIP) but have never known this depth of information. I was just offered an interview with a company that sets up server rooms, possibly just because of one previous employer. I was honest in my cover letter so they don't mistakenly think I've done certain things training touched on. We just didn't go into customer computers and reconfigure their settings. I do wish internet customers understood that smaller servers can be throttled to save space rather than them calling their provider thinking we're not giving them the connection speed they're paying for. Some adults sit at their home pc checking their internet speed every minute. They need another hobby!

I've seen so many different videos about servers but this one video only helped me to understand about servers properly. Immediately subscribed! Thanks a ton!

i appreciate your time and research you put into it. can you please make a video of what backend support we need when a website is designed and deployed in our own server.

This is by far the best channel for any type of computer related info. I am computer system networking college student and this is the best channel for learning. The graphics in animations really is what makes it stick to your mind. And it's also entertaining. Thank you for making these. So fun 2 watch

dude no BS, i just got my first microsoft certification and your videos were total lifesavers; you explain everything so throughly and clearly for me to understand and i was able to navigate my test far more better knowing what certain terms and machines are. so thank you for the videos!!

I was learning about servers and know all the fancy terms for one but still wasn’t quite confident on describing how it works and what it is and this video helped tremendously!

I love your short and educative videos. Would be great to see more about cyber security topics as well.

Thank you so much! for all your videos. Every day I'm learning something new from your channel. You've also made computer learning much simpler & easily understandable. This Channel is a Gold mine : )

I started a new job in IT 3 days ago, this video has put me abit more at ease! well done. MORE PLEASE

@PowerCert Animated Videos , Your Explanations are "Crystal Clear". I have not seen a single Video on UKposts that Explains with this much crystal clear and with no confusion at all. I really appreciate you for making these videos and helping the students. Great Work......A Big ThankYou....

Every single video of you, is a huge source of knowledge. Thanks PowerCert for sharing.

Your videos were an excellent resource in aiding me to pass my security + certification. Thank you so much, your videos are truly great !

You have a gift for laying things plainly & clearly. Great job! Thank you!

Fun idea for the next one - difference between servers and mainframes. My rough understanding is that a mainframe can handle multiple connections like a server, but it can also handle a lot of processing. So a mainframe can act as a data server, but the mainframe really shines when it receives large files, processes the data into a different output, and can provide that data to others.

Thank you for making it so simple and yet informative. I got more than what I needed in 7 min.

Awesome video! I've been keeping up with all your vids and sincerely appreciate the work you put into making them. I'm a newer engineer at a data center company, and these types of vids are perfect for people like me.

Perfect. Some people asked me about the difference between servers and desktops and I pretty much explained what you said in your video but I forgot to mention a few things. And I think your video is better suited for the. general audience than my explanation (I'm leaning IT after all), so I'll share this video with them.

i wish i found this video earlier. i currently know most of the things mentioned in this video, but even just a year or so ago i didn't even know that a regular computer could be used as a server until recently when i was looking into NAS stuff, which is where i learned a bit more about what makes a server and what different types of RAID do. this is a nice little video that is not very long but explains most of what beginners need to know.

This channel saved a bucket load of money and helped me to avoid college education. Life saver

I appreciate you and your channel SO much! I am currently studying for CompTIA A+, and have absolutely zero experience with IT. Beforehand I knew how to surf the web, play games, and do basic stuff like that--but I didn't know anything else, like what a hard drive was (other than it was something important for a computer). I've learned a bit from my textbook, but it is dry and doesn't always explain things well (at least not in terms a newb like me can understand), and I was having trouble visualizing and conceptualizing some stuff. But your channel shows and explains things SO well that topics I previously thought were difficult (thanks to my lame book) end up being easy to understand and I realize they are not difficult concepts at all! You really have a talent for teaching! Sorry for the novel, I am just super grateful that you and your channel exist. lol Thank you!!!

I am currently studying for my Comptia IT Fundamentals, this channel is.......Stellar, meticulous, impeccable in every single way.

The most common roles for a desktop to be a server on small to medium business are, file, print (with a large print pool), cache DNS, and at one point in time, a fax server. Though I had set up Lotus Notes4/5 to run on a small office of

Those are some beautiful looking servers

I waited this video so long...thanks a lot

This is a basic explanation about the function, use, and type of servers. Great video.

I like how much in detail you dig into a topic, excellent !

5:22 It's kind of ironic that the most common fileserver operating system is based on FreeBSD exactly because its performance is second to none, yet most people have never heard of FreeBSD, so it's not even on the list.

As an IT specialist and Computer Engineer, I give you 10/10 or 5-stars rating for this best informative video. You explained it in full details. That's how servers work

Love the video! Might be a good idea to put an epilepsy/flashing light warning at the start, or before the flashing lights sequence at 5:14.

I really appreciate the way you teach and make us understand things, you are wonderful ,will always support you and your channel 💖🤟🏻

Another gem - thank you. These must take ages to do.

Excellent explanation in simple terms. Thank you

Best explanation Sir. You have been keeping the things simple and this helps me to understand the complex things..Keep making much more technical videos..

I already watched 3 of your vids in a row and as a technician, all your vids are so informative in a way that watchers could understand computer effectively.. kudos.. and just subscribed..

Print servers usually were the slowest machines you can think of. People would send their data to the print server. The print server would then print the files over hours until they run out of paper. The file is transfered quickly, however the printer needs much longer to print the page than to process the data. So it never mattered how slow the print server is, because the printer is always slower.

Say Brother, I love your use of graphics. I think your presentation is rock solid.

There is nothing much to say , I wrote " watching PowerCert videos " as my hobby in my resume, The best of the best of the best presentations

Presented in an easy to understand manner for even novice users. Subscribed right away 🔥

Another wonderful video!

Perfect I say again, PERFECT Just what I needed to know, in order to continue my research and home IoT project

This is great! This is helping me get through some server concepts for my class.

An interesting and detailed explanation of the difference between a server and a desktop. As a bonus you explained the difference between Intel's Core and Xeon series of chips. And thanks for the notice that hard drives usually do not catch fire. I never would have known (lol).

Thanks for the info

This was just music to my software engineering ears. Thanks.

Great!! The animation is of high quality and relevant. Information provided is on point and short. Good Luck!!

that was very known information for me, but you made it very simple and well illustrated, and good graphic as well, well done sir

Why college doesn't hire these types of teachers worth paying 70000 dollars college fees if I have a teacher like you

4:07 I love how the NordVPN link is flashing across the server

Wow, whoever have done this detailed visual presentation shall give a credit for perseverance.

That was very straight forward and informational. Thank you for sharing the knowledge. I enjoyed the video and learned what I needed to learn.

Alright, who was the one guy who disliked the video

boy am I glad to have found this channel!!!

This is the best channel for IT. I learned so much here during college

This concept cleared my doubts in one go.

4:52 I see you have finished Solitaire more than one time.

Watched many other but I was still blank, this one processed me !.Golden channel

This channel was a good find. Amazing explanation!

How did you make your animations ? can you please tell, or just the name of the software used

3:58 Notice the messages on the server saying "NordVPN.com/Powercert" lol nice one

very good video explaining what servers are. i always thought it was meant as JUST a physical object, not knowing it could also mean the role it's playing you may wanna check and adjust the closed-captioning at 1:41 though. it says 'cant' instead of 'can'

Another excellent video simplifying the complex- subbed!
