Network Operating Systems
The core of a network is the network operating system. Just as a
computer cannot operate without an operating system, a network
of computers cannot operate without a network operating system.
Every network operating system provides basic services to the
computers on its network. These services include:
Ø
Coordinating the activities of the various devices on the
network to ensure that communication takes place as and when
required.
Ø
Providing clients with access to network resources, including
files and such peripheral devices as printers and fax machines.
Ø
Ensuring the security of data and devices on the network through
centralized administration tools.
Features of Network Operating Systems
A network operating system must support mechanisms that enable
applications to communicate with one another: for example,
applications that enable multiple computers to work jointly on a
single task, such as a mathematical calculation. A network
operating system must also support multiple processors, clusters
of disk drives, and data security features. Finally, a network
operating system must be reliable and be able to recover quickly
from errors. Depending upon the network operating system’s
manufacturer, a desktop computer’s networking software can be
added either to the computer’s own operating system or be
integrated with it. Network operating system software is
integrated into a number of popular operating systems, including
Microsoft Windows 2003, Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows NT,
Windows 98, Windows 95, and Apple Macintosh.
Windows 2003 serves organizational needs by making it easy to
connect people and networks in innovative ways through domain
organization and Microsoft Active Directory™
directory service for enhanced communication.
A Windows 2003 network allows organizations to improve
information sharing, streamline operations, and create an
efficient communications infrastructure. Windows 2003 includes
centralized security and information management services. It
also provides network communications services through directory
enhanced management and adherence to established networking
standards.
