Study Notes
Understanding Workstations and Servers in a Network
- Workstations can also function as a workstation and perform activities such as word processing, graphic design, and email.
- Workstations are connected to a network, also known as client computers, and must have a network interface card (NIC) to communicate with servers.
- Network client software comes with all operating systems today and allows computers to participate in the network.
- Being on a network allows users to store more information, share and receive information, use larger programs, and use hardware not attached directly to their computer.
- The differentiation between a workstation and a server is based on the operating system installed and the role it plays on the network.
- Servers typically need more powerful hardware than workstations due to their role on the network.
- Resources in a network can include printers, peripherals, disk storage, file access, and applications.
- Networks provide cost savings by allowing printers and storage space to be shared among multiple workstations.
- Servers can be allocated to store larger files used every day, freeing up disk space on client computers.
- Storing files on a server allows for periodic backup by the administrator and saves disk space by having one central copy of files.
- Applications can reside on the server and be used by workstations through a network connection, reducing the need to install applications on every computer in the office.
- Sharing applications over a network requires a special arrangement with the application vendor.
