UNIT I
Why Use Networks?
A Network: A group of computers and devices
connected by transmission media
Stand-alone computer - Not connected to other computers, uses
local software and data
Advantages of a network over standalone computers:
Device sharing by multiple users
Saves money and time
Central network management
Increased productivity
UNIT I
What is a Network Operating System?
NOS: A computer operating system with features that
manage resources such as data, users, groups, and
applications. Windows Server 2008 is a network
operating system.
UNIT I
Client/Server
Client/Server networks for LANs, MANs, WANs
Require Network Operating Systems on servers:
Microsoft Windows Server 2008, UNIX, Linux, Mac
OS X Server, etc.
Stand-alone computer systems run Windows XP, Windows 7, Linux,
Mac OS X. These become workstations (clients) on LANs.
Server functions:
Manage client data, resources, printers, etc.
Ensure authorized user access
Restrict user network access
Control user file access
Dictate computer communication rules
Supply applications to clients
UNIT I
Windows Server 2008 Platforms
The Windows Server 2008 platforms are as follows:
Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition
Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition
Windows Web Server 2008
Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Edition
Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-Based Systems
Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition w/o Hyper-V
Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition w/o Hyper-V
Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Edition w/o Hyper-V
UNIT I
Windows Server 2008 Hardware
UNIT I
Windows Server 2008
Domain
A grouping of network objects, such as computers, servers, and user accounts, that
provides for easier management
Computers and users in a domain can be managed to determine what resources they can
access
Advantages of using Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista/7 together:
New capabilities to recover from many types of network communications problems
Newly written code for more efficient network communications
More network diagnostic capabilities
New code for better use of the network communications protocols
Windows PowerShell commands and scripts in both Windows Server 2008 and Vista/7
Active Directory
Database of computers, users, groups of users, shared printers, shared folders, and other
network resources
Windows Server 2008 supports UNIX and Linux clients using the Subsystem for UNIX-based
Applications (SUA)
UNIT I
Windows Server 2008 Features
Features include:
Server Manager
Security
Clustering
Enhanced Web services
Windows Server Core
Windows PowerShell
Virtualization
Reliability
Multitasking and multithreading
UNIT I
Windows Server 2008 Protocols
Windows Server 2008 and its clients primarily use
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) A suite of
protocols and utilities that support communication on LANs and the Internet
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) – Provides reliable end-to-end
delivery of data by controlling data flow – a connection-oriented
communication
Internet Protocol (IP) - Provides network addressing to ensure data
packets quickly reach the correct destination - Two versions: IPv4 and IPv6
(IPv4 is used by default on most networks)
IP also provides for routing data over different networks
IP also handles fragmenting packets
IPv4 - the IP address format called the dotted decimal notation, 32 bits
long with four fields of decimal values representing eight-bit binary octets
IP address considerations
The network number 127.0.0.0 cannot be assigned to any network
The address 127.0.0.1 is known as the loopback address
