bandwith - The amount of data that can be transmitted via a given communications channel (e.g., between a hard drive and the host PC, or a modem and the internet/isp) in a given unit of time

server - A computer on a network that is dedicated to a particular purpose and which stores all information and performs the critical functions for that purpose. For example, a Web server would store all files related to a Web site and perform all work necessary for hosting the Web site. Most offices have at least one server that is dedicated as both a network server and a file server. This means that, in it's network server role, the computer is responsible for holding the files and managing the processes that enable everyone in the office to access and use the network.
