slave server
[sleɪv ˈsɜrvər]
nounpl: slave servers
servidor escravo
1. A secondary server in a replication setup that receives and applies data changes from a primary (master) server to maintain synchronized copies of data
The slave server automatically replicates all database updates from the master server to ensure data redundancy.
O servidor escravo replica automaticamente todas as atualizações do banco de dados do servidor mestre para garantir redundância de dados.
2. In networking and database administration, a dependent server that mirrors or copies data from a master server for backup or load distribution purposes
We configured three slave servers to handle read operations while the master server processes write operations.
Configuramos três servidores escravos para processar operações de leitura enquanto o servidor mestre processa operações de escrita.
This is a technical computing term referring to server hierarchies in database and network systems. It originated from the master-slave terminology common in computing before inclusive language initiatives. Modern tech communities increasingly prefer terms like 'replica server,' 'secondary server,' or 'standby server' to avoid terminology rooted in historical slavery. Both English and Portuguese-speaking tech industries are transitioning toward these alternative terms, though 'slave server' remains in legacy documentation and older systems.
