Overview of Network Operating Systems

A Network Operating System (NOS) manages network security, data backup, and remote terminal access for interconnected computer systems. It consists of hardware components like servers and communication mediums, and software components including various operating systems and protocol suites. There are two main types of NOS: Peer to Peer, which allows equal resource sharing among users, and Client-Server, which centralizes functions on a dedicated server for multiple users to access resources simultaneously.

NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM

NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM


(NOS)
• It can control the different setting
such as N/W security protocol.
• data backup for single and
interconnected computer system
• It contains all possible security
features of operating system.
• Users can manage all remote
terminals.
NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM

• Personal Computers

• Printer

• Server

• File server with a local network


that connects them together
NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM

• The role of the NOS is to then


provide basic network services and
features that support multiple
input requests simultaneously in a
multiuser environment.
COMMON FEATURES OF NOS
• Basic support for operating systems like protocol and processor
support, hardware detection and multiprocessing
• Printer and application sharing
• Common file system and database sharing.
• Network security capabilities such as user authentication and
access control.
• Directory
• Backup and web services.
• Internetworking

Server NOS
Types of network operating systems
PEER TO PEER NOS
• Designed especially for small to medial
type local area networks.
• All users can share resources and any
type of data (file) on their workstation
computer system, and these shared
resources can be accessed by other
computer system.
• Equal privileges for consuming all
resources
CLIENT-SERVER NOS
• Provides the several functions and
applications on the center hub, and this
center hub is known as “Dedicated File
Server”
• Client workstation can access all resources
which are existed on the network.
• Multiple users are capable to share equal
resources on the network operating system
from different location at a same time

NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEMS
ADVANTAGES
• Server provides the best protection
• Easy hardware’s configuration
• It is more specialized to H/W and operating system
• All terminals can easily access to server from several
different areas
• Dedicated file server has better stability
DISADVANTAGES
• It does not contain the any center storage space.
• It is not more protected system.
• Need regular services and updates as per
requirement.
• It totally depends upon the center server for all types
of operations such as storage and accessing data.
• It is more expensive
TAKEAWAYS:
• Data backup for single and interconnected computer system
• It contains all possible security features of operating system.
• Users can manage all remote terminals
• 2 Types of network operating systems: Peer to Peer NOS &
Client-Server NOS.
• Hardware components are devices which are physically
connected with each other.
• Software components are some PROGRAMS which are
installed.
