Network File System

As its name implies, the primary purpose of the session layer is to control the dialog sessions between two devices. The network file system (NFS) and structured query language (SQL) are examples of tools used in this layer.

A few remote procedure call (RPC)-based service.s. such as NIS (network information service) or NFS (network file system, both explained below) use UDP. TCP is a bl-directlonal, stream-oriented protocol, A constantly open communication channel is maintained between two programs communicating via TCP. Standard data appears at the receiver s side with some delay in exactly the same sequence as produced by the sender. Very small urgent messages (out-of-band-data) can be transmitted outside of the normal sequential order. 

While other applications, such as firewalls and anti-virus software, share similar objectives with network intrusion systems, network intrusion systems provide a deeper layer of protection beyond the capabilities of these other systems because they evaluate patterns of computer activity rather than specific files. 

PCs use a disk operating system that controls the file system and how the applications communicate with the hard disk. Networks use a network operating system (NOS) to control the communication with resources and the flow of data across the network. The NOS runs on the server. Many companies offer software to start a network. Some of the more popular network operating systems at this time include Unix, Novell s NetWare, and Microsoft s Windows NT Server (or Windows 2000). Although several other NOSs exist, these three are the most popular. 

In Windows 2000, sharing is enabled in exactly the same way as in Windows 9x. The only difference is that in 2000, you can enable the NTFS file system and use it to secure files and folders. At that point, all you have to do is create a share on Windows 2000 Professional to the directories you wish to allow the network access to and the permissions set at the file level will be enforced. 

Windows NT, like other network operating systems, employs comprehensive error and informational logging routines. Every program and process theoretically could have its own logging utility, but Microsoft has come up with a rather slick utility, Event Viewer, which, through log files, tracks all events on a particular Windows NT computer. Normally, though, you must be an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to have access to Event Viewer. 

This access restriction does not apply to administrators like on a local file system of a desktop computer in a network where IT administrators are allowed to access any file, the ELN must provide means for ELN administrators, for instance, to delete files that are in personal mode, if the author no longer has access to the system. 

MMS is a device-to-device transmission method, like SMS, of multimedia files via the GSM network. Files can be transferred between users (i.e., from one subscriber to another) or between devices. The MMS standard uses a Wireless Application Protocol as its transmission protocol. MMS can be used in monitoring systems such as road traffic monitoring or water level monitoring. All these applications would involve the transmission of image files. No common MMS standards, including a standard volume of transmitted MMS files, have yet been adopted by GSM network operators. 

Sharing resources makes it possible for other machines to use the resources (such as disk space, file system, peripheral devices, or even the CPU) of a computer. Well-known examples of resource sharing are the file and printer servers in computer networks. 

Although HelenOS is still far from being an everyday replacement for Linux or Windows due to the lack of end-user applications (whose development is extremely time-consuming, but unfortunately of no scientific value), the essential foundations such as file system support and TCP/IP networking are already in place. 

Microkernel principle. Every functionality of the OS that does not have to be necessary implemented in the kernel should be implemented in user space. This implies that subsystems such as the file system, device drivers (except those which are essential for the basic kernel functionality), naming and trading services, networking, human interface and similar features should be implemented in user space. 

Backing up data and application files on a network is essential to overall network security and the ability to recover from the inevitable data-destroying disaster. Although the process and overall components are relatively simple, the implementation can be anything but simple. Basically there are only two components to a network backup system (1) the software, which manages the backup, and (2) the hardware device, which captures the backed-up files. 

The Linux operating systan provides the platform for secure and reliable operation of the web server. Access to the file system is governed by file permissions and enforced by the operating system. The operating system also provides interfaces to the networks and enforces process and user security [1]. 

The calculation setup screens list a good selection of the options that are most widely used. However, it is not a complete list. The user also chooses which queue to use on the remote machine and can set queue resource limits. All of this is turned into a script with queue commands and the job input file. The user can edit this script manually before it is run. Once the job is submitted, the inputs are transferred to the server machine, the job is run and the results can be sent back to the local machine. The server can be configured to work with an NQS queue system. The system administrator and users have a reasonable amount of control in configuring how the jobs are run and where files are stored. The administrator should look carefully at this configuration and must consider where results will be sent in the case of a failed job or network outage.
