  8. Advantages of Computer Networks • Economical • Ability to have many student computer accounts to use the computer’s resources. • Ability to share hardware devices such as printers and scanners. • Efficient • Ability to communicate among users. • Efficient method to maintain and upgrade software (I.e. one copy of software on file server - therefore, only upgrade one location). • Ability for users to share files.

  9. Network Server • A Network Server (usually called just “server”) is a powerful centralized computer with software that allows multiple users to access software applications and data files. • The network server may also provide other important services such as network printer management and connection to other networks (e.g. via the Internet)

  10. Network Server Other Network Servers Communication Medium (e.g. Internet) Network Server(Central Computer) Terminal(Client) Terminal(Client) Terminal(Client) Terminal(Client) Terminal(Client)

  11. Servers for First Semester Students UNX-w1-p1.ppt • LEARN • Used to read and send student e-mail. Phobos and Matrix account username and password will be e-mailed to this account. • PHOBOS • A Unix computer account used for creating, modifying, compiling and executing C programs in a text-based environment. • MATRIX • A Linux computer account used for C programming and also used to work in a graphical environment (called KDE).
