What do we call a computer that provides a central storage location on a network?
Server is a central computer that provides processing services or data to an interconnected group of computers. A server acts as the core of a client-server network. The other computers, called clients, are connected to the server by communications cables.
In which network a central computer or server act as a storage location for files and applications shared on the network?
As the name implies, a file server is a server that provides access to files. It acts as a central file storage location that can be accessed by multiple systems. A file server may be a dedicated system, such as network attached storage (NAS) device, or it may simply be a computer that hosts shared files.
What is a file server in networking?
A file server is a computer containing files available to all users connected to a local-area network (LAN). In some LANs, a microcomputer is designated as the file server, while in others it is a computer with a large disk drive and specialized software.
What do you call a named collection of data stored on a disk?
A file is a collection of saved data. • The saved file data is stored on secondary storage devices like hard disk or compact disk.
What is the central computer in a network called?
HostEdit. A central computer (mainframe or midsize) that controls a network and the devices on it, called nodes. The host computer has all the control over who has access to what hardware, software and all other resources on the network.
What is central computer?
Centralized computing is computing done at a central location, using terminals that are attached to a central computer. The central computer performs the computing functions and controls the remote terminals. This type of system relies totally on the central computer.
In which network all computers can act both as client and server?
peer-to-peer network
In a peer-to-peer network, each node can work as either a server as well as a client. This network does not distinguish between the client or server. Each of the nodes can act as both client/server depending on whether the node is requesting or providing the service.
What is server file storage?
A file server is a computer responsible for the storage and management of data files so that other computers on the same network can access the files. File servers make storing, securing and sharing files in an organization simpler.
What a computer server does?
A server stores, sends, and receives data. In essence, it “serves” something else and exists to provide services. A computer, software program, or even a storage device may act as a server, and it may provide one service or several.
What is named collection of data that describes a data object?
Answer: the collection of data is called data collection.
What refers to a collection of data stored on the computer?
A database is a collection of information that is organized so that it can be easily accessed, managed and updated. Data is organized into rows (called, records), columns and tables, and it is indexed to make it easier to find relevant information.
Which is the best definition of a computer?
An object that stores data as magnetized particles on a surface. (ECC 15) A computer used by larger business and government agencies that provides centralized storage, processing, and management for large amounts of data. (ECC 6)
What is a program that establishes communication between two devices?
A computer program that can establish communication between two devices because it contains information about the characteristics of your computer and of the device. Also called driver. (ECC 22) A CPU that has two processors on the chip. (ECC 8)
What are the intangible components of a computer?
The intangible components of a computer system, including the programs, are called: Software Keyboards, monitors, and printers are all examples of which of the following? Peripheral devices Which of the following is a pointing device that allows you to control the pointer by moving the entire device around on a desk?
Which is the most used input device in a computer?
The most frequently used input device; consists of three major parts: the main keyboard, the keypads, and the function keys. (ECC 2) 1,024 bytes, or approximately one thousand bytes. (ECC 13)
