It is your window to the world, which allows you to communicate with anybody, anywhere on the planet. Practically any business that uses computers has Internet access. The need for connection is obvious — business and business-like correspondence with partners, access to databases, upgrading software, and so on.  
Internet gateways provide the tools to give authorized restricted Internet access to the users.

Transparent caching
Excessive access control
HTTP server acceleration
SNMP

  Regard provides Internet gateways based on squid which has features such as:

Proxying and Caching of HTTP, FTP

Proxying for SSL

  Many small businesses were initially limited to one dialup connection from one computer. But electronic mail and access into the network very rapidly became necessary for multiple employees. This made the case to connect an entire office network to the global network. Of course, it would be inexpedient to buy each computer a separate modem and a separate Internet access account. What's needed is an Internet gateway, a separate computer through which everyone can share Internet access.

Database Server Management

Database server is a computer program that offers database services to other computers or computer programs, as defined by the client-server model. Many times this term may also refer to a computer dedicated to running such a program. Usually, the Database management systems offer database server functionality, and some DBMS's (e.g., MySQL) are fully dependent on the client-server model for database access.   Database Master Servers hold the central positions and are the main locations of data while Database Slave servers are synchronized backups acting as proxies of the master.   The increasing importance of database servers is due to the popularity of the client/server architecture model in computing. These servers store the database on the hard disc of a dedicated computer system and allowing it to maintain the integrity of the data along with handling transaction support as well as user authorization.   This database server serves the purpose of dividing an application into a front end and a back end, in compliance with the client-server model. The main function of the front end is to run the user’s computer and display the requested data while the back end runs the server, handling specific tasks such as data analysis and storage.
