Today we will discus the Role of Network Operating Systems, servers, workstations, and hosts!
What is a network operating system you ask? Well In computer lingo it's NOS. It runs on a server in a cleint/server network configuration and turns a PC into a network server...
Servers:
A server is a computer that was made to use, or run NOS's!
Workstations:
Is a personal computer that is pretty much connected to a network, which can do stuff through applications and utilities.
Hosts:
It pretty much any network device that has a TCP/IP address
There are many kinds of Servers out there...
a few of them include
CD servers
E-mail servers
Fax servers
Print servers.
We'll discuss about CD Servers today as well.
It usually is alone, and consists of four or more, CD-ROM readers... could be up to 100 CD ROM readers.
E-mails Servers:
Is pretty much what e-mail is. there is a server that holds all the mail coming in from the internet.. and it just sends it out to the appropriate place!
Well that's all for today... more tomorrow!
