Hi,

1. Network Operating System

Most of us are familiar with a single user application. The entire application runs on a single machine, and many a times to develop a database application (particularly when using Microsoft's OS) we need not even worry anything about the OS. However, it is a different scenario in a Network. A database application running on a network operates as a client server application, and even on the Web, it is essentially a c/s app and so, it makes more sense to master C/S apps before moving on to the web.

A client server (c/s, two-tier) app has two major parts. The program which runs on the client (UI and some validations) and the database runs the server with all the stored procedures and settings. (there are further variations, however, we will save it for another day).

So, here we are talking about a server, for which MS has a different OS and the client which has a different OS. While the Client OS is simpler, the Server OS is much more sophisticated in view of the many different functionalities it has to meet. What are they ?

Firstly, the Server OS has to recognize all the clients and give them an identity. Next, it has to identify different users and allow allotting of username and password to each of them. Further, it has to recognize a master like in an orchestra, who is referred to as an Administrator.

A list all the features of a NOS :

1. A NOS works behind the scenes to serve users and application programs.

2.A NOS controls the operation of a network system, including who uses it, access to applications and peripherals and resources.

3.It provides administrative tools to add, change and remove users, computers and peripherals from the network.

4. It also includes troubleshooting tools to monitor the LAN.

5.In a network, the server software makes a single-user computer into a multi-user machine.
