What is the difference between hardware and software?

When it comes to computers, the hardware is the physical and tangible part, like the
monitor, keyboard, and speakers. Software is the programs and operating systems that
need to be installed.

What is hardware?

Think of hardware as what you need to make your computer work. It's a physical part of a
computer system. Computers require hardware to exist.

What is software?

Software is something that you install onto your computer that has its own code, like a
specific program. It's the programs and applications that you run on a physical device.
Examples of this are operating systems and SaaS platforms.

Fiber optics, or optical fiber, refers to the technology that transmits information as light
pulses along a glass or plastic fiber. A fiber optic cable can contain a varying number of
these glass fibers -- from a few up to a couple hundred.

Ethernet is the traditional technology for connecting devices in a wired local area

network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN). It enables devices to communicate with each
other via a protocol, which is a set of rules or common network language.

A wireless local-area network (WLAN) is a group of colocated computers or other

devices that form a network based on radio transmissions rather than wired
connections.
HPNA, also referred to as HomePNA, is a de facto home networking standard
developed by the Home Phoneline Networking Alliance. This technology, building
on Ethernets, allows all the components of a home network to interact over the home's
existing telephone wiring without disturbing the existing voice or fax services

Power line communication (PLC) is a technology that allows power lines to be used for
data communication by transferring data over existing power lines. By using a power line
as a communication network, it is possible to build a system at a low cost and early stage.

A local area network (LAN) is a collection of devices connected together in one physical
location, such as a building, office, or home. A LAN can be small or large, ranging from a
home network with one user to an enterprise network with thousands of users and devices in an
office or school.
A wide area network (WAN) is a large computer network that connects groups of
computers over large distances. WANs are often used by large businesses to connect their
office networks; each office typically has its own local area network, or LAN, and these LANs
connect via a WAN.

A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a computer network that connects computers
within a metropolitan area, which could be a single large city, multiple cities and towns, or any
given large area with multiple buildings. A MAN is larger than a local area network (LAN) but
smaller than a wide area network (WAN).

Personal Area Network (PAN): It is an interconnection of personal technology devices to

communicate over a short distance, which is less than 33 feet or 10 meters or within the range
of an individual person, typically using some form of wireless technologies.
A virtual private network, or VPN, is an encrypted connection over the Internet from a
device to a network. The encrypted connection helps ensure that sensitive data is safely
transmitted. It prevents unauthorized people from eavesdropping on the traffic and allows the
user to conduct work remotely

What does being encrypted mean?

Encryption is the method by which information is converted into secret code that
hides the information's true meaning.

Much like a university campus network, a corporate campus network serves to connect
buildings. Examples of such are the networks at Googleplex and Microsoft's
campus. Campus networks are normally interconnected with high speed Ethernet links
operating over optical fiber such as gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
Simply stated, a SAN is a network of disks that is accessed by a network of servers.
There are several popular uses for SANs in enterprise computing. A SAN is typically
employed to consolidate storage. For example, it's common for a computer system,
such as a server, to include one or more local storage devices.

What is the function of network and architecture?

A network architect is responsible for planning, designing and implementing data
communication networks that meet their organizations' needs. Once deployed,
these professionals monitor the network and performing network modeling tasks to
assess future needs.

The peer to peer network connects computers so that every computer shares all or some part
of the resources. The client server networks operate with one or more than one central
computers or servers that manage the resources and hold the data

Peer-to-Peer Network: advantages and disadvantages

Advantages Disadvantages

Much easier to set up than a client-server

Ensuring that viruses are not introduced to the
network - does not need specialist
network is the responsibility of each individual user
knowledge
.
Examples of P2P Networks

As a P2P sharing network, the idea was that peers connected through the internet and
could find and download any song they wanted, from several other users. Peers could
also upload songs to Napster themselves, then share their files with others.

What is the advantage of client-server?

The advantages of a client-server network are greater security of the network, more
control e.g. network traffic passing through the network, being able to see what each
computer is doing and limiting certain actions and preventing things such as viruses
spreading, also the amount of data storage available to each ...
Disadvantages of Client Server Computing

If all the clients simultaneously request data from the server, it may get overloaded. This
may lead to congestion in the network. If the server fails for any reason, then none of the
requests of the clients can be fulfilled. This leads of failure of the client server network.

What are some examples of client-server applications?

Examples of computer applications that use the client-server model are email, network
printing, and the World Wide Web.

What is in a network topology?

A network topology is the physical and logical arrangement of nodes and

connections in a network. Nodes usually include devices such as switches, routers
and software with switch and router features. Network topologies are often represented
as a graph.

What is an example of a WAN?

The internet is a WAN. A network of bank cash dispensers is a WAN. A school network
is usually a LAN. LANs are often connected to WANs, for example a school network
could be connected to the internet.

Which is an example of LAN?

Home WiFi networks and small business networks are common examples of LANs.

Examples of a metropolitan area network

New York City provides free Wi-Fi access to all residents as a large single MAN. It also
connects traffic lights and parking meters wirelessly as a metropolitan area network.
One of the most common real-world examples of a PAN is the connection between a
Bluetooth earpiece and a smartphone. PANs can also connect laptops, tablets, printers,
keyboards, and other computerized devices. PAN network connections can either be wired or
wireless.

Stands for "Campus Area Network." A CAN is a network that covers an educational or
corporate campus. Examples include elementary schools, university campuses, and
corporate buildings. A campus area network is larger than a local area network LAN since it
may span multiple buildings within a specific area

A global network, such as the internet, is referred to as the Globe Area Network (GAN). The
internet is, however, not the only computer network of its kind. Internationally operating
companies also support local networks that comprise of several WANs and connect company
computers across the world.

Where is global area network used?

Techopedia Explains Global Area Network (GAN)

The most sought-after GAN type is a broadband GAN. The broadband GAN is a global
satellite Internet network that uses portable terminals for telephony. The terminals
connect laptop computers located in remote areas to broadband Internet.

What is VPN and its example?

VPNs are primarily used for remote access to a private network. For example,
employees at a branch office could use a VPN to connect to the main office's internal
network. Alternatively, a remote worker, who may be working from home, could need to
connect to their company's internet or restricted applications

What is server and example?

server, network computer, computer program, or device that processes requests
from a client (see client-server architecture). On the World Wide Web, for example, a
Web server is a computer that uses the HTTP protocol to send Web pages to a client's
computer when the client requests them.
An intranet is a network where employees can create content, communicate,
collaborate, get stuff done, and develop the company culture. An extranet is similar to
an intranet, but also provides controlled access to authorized customers, vendors,
partners, or others outside the company.

What's the difference between intranet Internet and extranet?

The internet is a global collection of computer networks known as the world wide web.
On the other hand, an intranet is an online network only company employees can
access. An extranet is an extension of an intranet.

An example of TCP/IP in action is a person accessing a website. A suite of protocols for
communication between computers, specifying standards for transmitting data over networks
and used as the basis for standard Internet protocols. Short for Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol.
