Application Server in practice: Virtually all major applications in the organization (except those who only runs on endpoint devices) need an application server. Each application has thus typically its own application server. Those application servers that run web applications are called web application servers. The vast majority of application servers are currently based on the standard (J2EE).
IT specialists have the responsibility for the management of application servers in the organization.
