Task server: Performs all the background tasks that are required, like running Refresh Identity Cube tasks, Aggregation tasks, custom scheduled tasks etc. Task server is not accessible to the end user.

UI server: End user performs all the UI related activities here. Raise a request, provide approvals, take actions on certifications, policy violations etc.

RAID protection: RAID (redundant array of independent disks) is a way of storing the same data in different places on multiple hard disks or solid-state drives to protect data in the case of a drive failure.
