Once defined as small groups of servers sharing file and print services, workgroups can now include hundreds or thousands of individual servers working together. Today, departments, teams, and even small businesses have come to rely on a unique class of small servers to help them complete their tasks. Modern entry servers like those available from Sun Microsystems routinely tackle business- and mission-critical applications such as groupware and messaging, e-commerce, database, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications. Entry servers are attractive to systems administrators, users, and MIS directors because they are powerful enough to handle significant workloads, yet economical enough to be dedicated to single tasks. As a result, when a new requirement for service arises, administrators can often avoid many of the disruptions associated with introducing a new application to a single, large server (performance degradation, service interruptions, administration and security loopholes) by simply dedicating a small server to the job.
