UNIT I Why Use Networks? • A Network: A group of computers and devices connected by transmission media • Stand-alone computer - Not connected to other computers, uses local software and data • Advantages of a network over standalone computers: • Device sharing by multiple usersSaves money and time • Central network management • Increased productivity

11. UNIT I What is a Network Operating System? NOS: A computer operating system with features that manage resources such as data, users, groups, and applications. Windows Server 2008 is a network operating system.

12. UNIT I Client/Server • Client/Server networks for LANs, MANs, WANs • Require Network Operating Systems on servers: • Microsoft Windows Server 2008, UNIX, Linux, Mac OS X Server, etc.Stand-alone computer systems run Windows XP, Windows 7, Linux, Mac OS X. These become workstations (clients) on LANs. • Server functions: • Manage client data, resources, printers, etc. • Ensure authorized user access • Restrict user network access • Control user file access • Dictate computer communication rules • Supply applications to clients
