Study Notes
Types of Computer Services
- Application software services provide specific functionality for users, examples include word processors, spreadsheets, and graphic design software.
- System software services manage computer hardware and software resources: examples include operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) and utility programs (antivirus, disk cleaners).
- Network services enable computer communication and resource sharing across networks (file sharing, email, web browsing). These often depend on protocols like TCP/IP.
Cloud Computing Services
- Cloud services offer computing resources (servers, storage, databases) over the internet, accessed on-demand.
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) gives virtualized computing resources. Users manage the operating systems and applications.
- Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides a platform for developing, testing, and deploying applications, without managing underlying infrastructure.
- Software as a Service (SaaS) provides software applications over the internet. Users access through web browsers. Examples include email, CRM, and project management software.
Support Services
- Technical support helps users with computer or software issues (troubleshooting, guidance, remote assistance, questions).
- Maintenance services keep computer systems running smoothly, including preventive maintenance, repairs, and upgrades.
- Training services educate users on computer and software use (individual or group sessions, online tutorials, documentation).
Specific Computer Services
- Data processing services handle large data volumes for analysis and retrieval (data entry, warehousing, analysis). Large organizations often use advanced systems.
- Database management services design, implement, and maintain databases efficiently (data integrity, security, querying, updating, reporting).
- Web development services build and maintain websites. Tasks include design, coding, testing, and deploying web applications (using frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js).
- Cybersecurity services protect computer systems and networks from unauthorized access, threats, and attacks (firewalls, intrusion detection systems, encryption).
Factors Influencing Computer Service Choices
- Cost is a primary factor in selecting service providers and types.
- Scalability refers to adapting to changing needs by increasing resources.
- Security involves protecting sensitive data and systems.
- Reliability ensures the consistency and availability of the service.
- Ease of use is the intuitiveness and user-friendliness of the service.
- Vendor support is the level of assistance provided.
