A fax server is a network-based solution that manages incoming and outgoing fax transmissions without requiring standalone fax machines. It can be a dedicated hardware appliance or software running on a server, often integrating with email and document management systems.
Organizations use fax servers to centralize faxing operations, reduce paper usage, and improve security by encrypting transmissions. They provide businesses with greater control, logging, and automation capabilities for high-volume faxing needs.
