Computer In Business

What are the major computer hardware, data storage, input, and output technologies used in business? What are the major types of computer software used in business?

Major Computer Hardware

Client/Server Computing

A Multitiered Client/Server Network (N-Tier)

In a multitiered client/server network, client requests for service are handled by different levels of servers.

Storage
Primary secondary storage technologies Magnetic disk: Hard drives, USB flash drives RAID: Can package hundreds of drives for massage storage requirements Optical disks CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD Magnetic tape Storage networking: SANs Connect multiple storage devices on a separate high-speed network dedicated to storage

A Storage Area Network (SAN)


A typical SAN consists of a server, storage devices, and networking devices, and is used strictly for storage. The SAN stores data on many different types of storage devices, providing data to the enterprise. The SAN supports communication between any server and the storage unit as well as between different storage devices in the network

Input

Input devices:
Gather data and convert them into electronic form Keyboard Computer mouse Touch screen Optical character recognition Magnetic ink character recognition Pen-based input Digital scanner Audio input Sensors

Output Technology

Output devices:
Display data after they have been processed

Monitor Printer Audio output

Information systems collect and process information in one of two ways


Batch processing: Transactions stored for predefined amount of time, then processed as group Online processing: Transactions processed immediately

Edge Computing Platform

Edge computing involves the use of the Internet to balance the processing load of enterprise platforms across the client and edge computing platform.

Operating System Software

The software that manages and controls the computers activities PC operating systems and graphical user interfaces
GUIs Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2003 UNIX Linux Open-source software

The Major Types of Software


The relationship among the system software, application software, and users can be illustrated by a series of nested boxes. System software consisting of operating systems, language translators, and utility programscontrols access to the hardware. Application software, including programming languages and fourthgeneration languages, must work through the system software to operate. The user interacts primarily with the application software.

Computer In Entertainment

Virtual Reality
Allows users to feel like they are in an environment without actually being there

Gaming

Video gaming and computer gaming have parallel but separate histories Computer gaming began as text-only and email based Now gaming includes Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPG) Genre of computer games that brings people from all over the world into a dynamic environment where they can interact with each other and experience a rich new virtual world
