Why does JMark saves its results to a server?

JMark is an applet and, as such, can't write to the hard disk. As you can easily theorize, this makes writing the results file to a user's hard disk a literal (not just virtual) impossibility.

However, JMark can save results to a SQL database on the server that's hosting the JMark applet.

If you run JMark from the ZDNet site, you can save your results to ZDNet's server. If you're running JMark from your own intranet, you can save the client PCs' results to the server that's hosting the JMark applet.

JMark uses an SQL database because they're pretty common nowadays and are supported by the major database vendors. If you're running JMark on your own intranet, we recommend using Microsoft Access (part of Office 97) as the database to store your results because Access offers SQL database capabilities.
