Some computers do nothing but store archives of files and software for on-demand use by network users, some computers specialize in super-high-resolution graphics for desktop design and engineering, others focus on high-volume centralized database transaction processing, and many simply function as general purpose workstations which present graphical user interfaces to all these services to end-users.

They may be de facto standards for various communities, or officially recognised national or international standards.
Andrew Tanenbaum, in his Computer Networks book, once said, "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from", a reference to the fact that competing standards become a source of confusion, division, obsolescence, and duplication of effort instead of an enhancement to the usefulness of products.
Some bodies concerned in one way or another with computing standards are IAB (RFC and STD), ISO, ANSI, DoD, ECMA, IEEE, IETF, OSF, W3C.
