Network +4 Introduction to Network Operating Systems Centrally manage network resources Secure access to network Allow remote users to connect Allow users to connect to other networks Back up data and make sure it’s available Allow for simple additions of clients and resources Monitor status and functionality of network elements Distribute programs and software updates to clients Ensure efficient use of a server’s capabilities Provide fault tolerance
5
Network +5 Introduction to Network Operating Systems (continued) Selecting a Network Operating System Compatible with existing infrastructure? Provide the security required by resources? Can technical staff manage it effectively? Will applications run smoothly on it?
6
Network +6 Introduction to Network Operating Systems (continued) Selecting a Network Operating System Will it accommodate future growth? Does it support the additional services users require? Does it fit budget? What additional training will it require? Support from its manufacturer?
7
Network +7 Introduction to Network Operating Systems (continued) Network Operating Systems and Servers How many clients will connect to the server? What kinds of applications will run on the server? How much storage space will each user need? How much downtime, if any, is acceptable? What can the organization afford?
