Client computers

Adopting a thin client computing architecture concentrates recovery processes on a few key servers, thus reducing overall workload and numbers of personnel involved. 

Servers come in many shapes and sizes. They are a core component of the network, providing a link to the resources necessary to perform any task. The link it provides could be to a resource existing on the server itself or a resource on a client computer. The server is the leader of the pack, offering directions to the client computers regarding where to go to get what they need. 

Workstations are the computers that the users on a network do their work on, performing activities such as word processing, database design, graphic design, e-mail, and other office or personal tasks. Workstations are basically nothing more than an everyday computer, except for the fact that they are connected to a network that offers additional resources. Workstations can range from a diskless computer system to a desktop system. In network terms, workstations are also known as client computers. As clients, they are allowed to communicate with the servers in the network in order to use the network s resources. 

Networked computer systems with multiple computers and peripherals. Examples are servers for common printing and data storage or client/server networks where the operating system and application software are loaded on the server and can be executed on the client computer. Another example is a laboratory information management system (LIMS) for collection and management of data from multiple computers. 

Collision and Clearance Calculation based on the thoroughly prepared data a collision and clearance calculation is started. To cope with huge amount of calculations needed NetDMU administers a large pool of client computers that calculate overnight and thus take advantage of not used computer power. 

Nearly all corporate networks, and portions of many university networks (which have traditionally been open and unfiltered), use firewalls of varying strictness to cleanse incoming packet flows. Most consumers also have firewalls in their cable modems, DSL routers, wireless base stations, or client computers. 

With the rapid development of application tools a proven hardware policy has been what is known as client-server computing. All servers are open system large or mini computers (e.g. IBM-AIX) and client computers are largely personal computers (PCs). 

Basically, every computer on the Internet can communicate directly with every other. Most Internet services can be configured to refuse access from outside a trusted or authorized group of client computers, or can be disabled altogether, but the danger of abuse of information and resources or worse...
