NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM

An Operating System (O.S.) is a System software that manages the hardware

resources and provides services to the Application software. There are many types of
operating systems depending upon its features and functionalities. They can be Batch O.S.,
Multitasking O.S., Multiprocessing O.S., Network O.S., Hybrid O.S., etc.
In this blog, we'll focus on the Network Operating System. We'll learn about the two types of
Network O.S., their advantages, and disadvantages. At last, we'll see some common features
of the Network O.S.

Network Operating System

Network Operating System is a computer operating system that facilitates to connect
and communicate various autonomous computers over a network. An Autonomous
computer is an independent computer that has its own local memory, hardware, and O.S. It is
self-capable to perform operations and processing for a single user. They can either run the
same or different O.S.

The Network O.S. mainly runs on a powerful computer that runs the server program. It
facilitates the security and capability of managing the data, user, group, application, and other
network functionalities. The main advantage of using a network so. is that it facilitates the
sharing of resources and memory amongst the autonomous computers in the network. It can
also facilitate the client computers to access the shared memory and resources administered
by the Server computer. In other words, the Network O.S. is mainly designed to allow multiple
users to share files and resources over the network.
The Network O.S. is not transparent in nature. The workstations connected in the network
are aware of the multiplicity of the network devices. The Network Operating Systems can
distribute their tasks and functions amongst connected nodes in the network, which enhances
the system overall performance. It can allow multiple access to the shared resources
concurrently, which results in efficiency. One of the major importance of using a Network O.S.
is remote access. It facilitates one work station to connect and communicate with another
workstation in a secure manner. For providing security, it has authentication and access control
functionality. The network O.S. implements a lot of protocols over the network, which provides
a proper implementation of the network functionalities. One drawback of Network O.S. is its
tightly coupled nature in the network.

Some examples of Network O.S. are Novel Netware, Microsoft Windows server (2000,
2003, 2008), Unix, Linux, etc.
There are mainly two types of Network O.S., they are:
1. Peer-to-Peer
2. Client-Server
Now let us learn them one by one, along with their advantages and disadvantages.

Peer-to-Peer
Peer-to-Peer Network Operating System is an operating system in which all the nodes
are functionally and operationally equal to each other. No one is superior or inferior. They
all are capable to perform similar kinds of tasks. All the nodes have their own local memory and
resources. Using the Network O.S., they can connect and communicate with each other. They
can also share data and resources with one another. One node can also communicate and
share data and resources with a remote node in the network by using the authentication feature
of the Network O.S. The nodes are directly connected with each other in the network with the
help of a switch or a hub.
Following are the advantages of the Peer-to-Peer Network Operating System:
1. Easy to install and setup.
2. The setup cost is low.
3. There is no requirement for any specialized software.
4. The sharing of information and resources is fast and easy.

Following are the disadvantages of the Peer-to-Peer Network Operating System:

1. The performance of autonomous computers may not be so good when sharing some
resources.
2. There is no centralized management.
3. It is less secure.
4. It does not have backup functionalities.
5. There is no centralized storage system.

Client- Server
The Client-Server Networking Operating System operates with a single server and multiple
client computers in the network. The Client O.S. runs on the client machine, while the Network
Operating System is installed on the server machine. The server machine is a centralized hub
for all the client machines. The client machines generate a request for information or some
resource and forward it to the server machine. The server machine, in turn, replies to the client
machine by providing appropriate services to it in a secure manner. The server machine is a
very powerful computer, that is capable of tackling large calculations and operations. It can also
have the ability to administer the whole network and its resources. It can be multiprocessing in
nature, which can process multiple client requests at the same time. The Network O.S.
enhances the reach of client machines by providing remote access to other nodes and
resources of the network in a secure manner.

Following are the advantages of the Client-Server Network Operating System:

1. It has centralized control and administration.
 2. It has a backup facility for lost data.
3. The shared data and resources can be accessed concurrently by multiple clients.
4. It has better reliability and performance.

Following are the disadvantages of the Client-Server Network Operating System:

1. The setup cost is very high.
2. There is a requirement of specialized software for client and server machines to function
properly.
3. There is a need for an administrator to administer the network.
4. There may be network failure, in case of central server failure.
5. A huge amount of client requests may overload the server.

Following are the common functionalities of the Network Operating System:

1. Data and Resource sharing
2. Performance
3. Security
4. Robustness
5. Scalability
6. Memory management

GUIDE

For the Teacher

Advise the students to read the Reading and Discussion portion before they attempt to
answer the practice exercises. Let the learners go through the parts sequentially to help them
understand the topic easily. The Key Answers are for you to refer during the checking. Don’t
include it in the printing.

For the Learner:

Read thoroughly and understand the Self-Learning Home Task from the first part to the last
part. By doing so, will help you understand better the topic. If you still have enough time, do it
twice for more understanding. You can use a dictionary if you find it hard to comprehend the
science terms. Use a separate sheet for your answers.

For the Parent/Home Tutor:

Assist your child and make sure that he/she reads the Self-Learning Home Task from the
beginning up to end, to ensure proper understanding of the concepts. Don’t feed the answer to
your child. Let her/him do it of his own.
