Database server: If you offer a live database, you need database software such as MS-Access, SQL Server, Oracle, Informix, or FileMaker Pro to host the actual database content. It is quite common to run a database on an external box for performance and/or security reasons. In order to communicate with your middleware and in turn your Web server, you will want to run a database that supports the ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) standard. Note that many database products now are shipped with built-in Web middleware.
Backup software: You will want to periodically back up your entire server software environment, and you will want to back up your Web content frequently as well. Backup software allows you to automate this task. You may want to run backup software on the Web server and on each of the servers with production services, or you may want to install a single, centralized network backup service that is capable of accessing all production disk volumes and backing them up as a batch.
Keep in mind that your choices as to what services to run, as well as your how many servers to use, are not carved in stone. You can always add new server hardware, and re-allocate production services among server boxes, as time goes on.
