Minicomputer

Minicomputer
These computers are between mainframes and microcomputers in terms of processing power and costs. They are multiprocessing systems that are capable of supporting multiple users simultaneously.

Mid-Range Servers
A mid-range server is a computer that sits between microcomputers and mainframes in terms of hardware. It manages network resources and they typically dedicated to a single task but are capable of running multiple processes. Examples servers are file servers for sharing data and print servers for sharing a printer.

Workstations
Workstations are designed for engineering and graphics applications, they are used by one users at a time although they tend to run multi-user operating systems. They are optimised for virtualisation of complex data such as running engineering simulations and computations fluid dynamics.
