Chapitre 1.3 Réseaux
The question : Within a large organization, what is the optimal localization of Processing power Data storage The possibilities : In a global computer center In local computer centers With the user Any combination of the three previous solutions Client-Server systems

Centralized Data Processing Mainframe Computer Star Network Dumb Terminals
Benefits : Simple Access to Common Data Professional Data Management Enforceable Security Well Defined Cost Full control by EDP people
Mainframe Computer But... Processing power limited by physics ! 1 GIPS : 10-9 s/instruction : d < 30 cm 1 TIPS : 10-12 s/instruction : d < 0.3 mm
Technical arguments againstCentral Computers Processing Power of a single CPU can not grow indefinitely Transmission capacity needed between processor and terminal has become enormous
Mainframe Computer But... Graphic User Interfaces put extreme stress on communications ! This screen = 2 359 296 bytes transmitting it at 2 Mb/s takes 10 s.

The question : What is the optimal localization of Processing power Data storage The possibilities : In a global computer center In local computer centers With the user Any combination of the three previous solutions Client-Server systems
The Reaction : Independent Personal Computers
Access to common data ??? Risk of loss of data ! Software Maintenance ! Cost of some peripheral equipment Limited processing power And many other hidden costs ! But ...

Client - Server Systems Many computers with characteristics matching their specific usage interconnected by means of a network
Client - Server Systems Interconnection Network
Networked Computers Benefits Sharing of disk space (= access to common data & programs) (= centralized disk back-up facilities) Sharing of expensive peripherals (Spooling required) Sharing of processing power
The users interface of all applications runs on the personal workstations. For some applications, the workstation requests help from specialized servers. The user remains unaware of such requests. Servers can be optimized for specific tasks Virtual Mainframes can be Very user friendly cost effective Virtual Mainframe= true Client-Server system

Internet Usage Access to distributed multimedia databases (World Wide Web) Electronic Mail Internet Real-time Chat File transfers (FTP) Internet Telephony (Skype,…) Network File System
Uniform hypertext based users friendly interface for distributed databases. Inexpensive, high quality, browsers available for almost all computers. Sophisticated and application specific users interactivity possible by downloading programs to be executed on client’s workstation (Java). Already well over 109 pages available worldwide, mainly for public relations, publicity and, to some extent, electronic commerce. Electronic commerce still restrained by security concerns. World Wide Web
Hypertext Multimedia document Normal text Graphics and images (stored in separate files) Sound (stored in separate files) Executable programs (Java Applets) References of other hypertext documents (“Anchors”) “clickable” normal text or image (icon) address (URL) where the corresponding document can be found HTMLHyperText Markup Language
Finding information becomes more and more difficult due to the amount of information. Automated indexing services, searching all available databases on the Internet and setting up keyword databases are very popular. Good ranking of keywords can be purchased from some indexing services. Many sites try to use tricks to be favorably presented by search engines Search Engines
