...improvement. The following 15 evaluations will be used to access the current state of the network: 1. Evaluation of Client Computer Hardware In the evaluation of client computer hardware, this evaluation seeks to identify all client computer assets owned by the company. All laptops and desktops owned by the company should be made available as needed in order for the evaluation to be as accurate as possible. It will be necessary to perform a review of all client computers that connect to the company assets. These machines will be analyzed for speed, performance, and reliability. I will look for variations in hardware manufacturers. Depending on the circumstance, it can result in better TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) if client computers are limited to one or two manufacturers. In addition, machines that are broken, out of warranty, or outdated will be recommended for repair or replacement. 1. 2. Evaluation of Client Computer Software In the evaluation of client computer software, I will seek to identify all software that is installed on client computers and being used in the workplace. This evaluation can be performed using software metering in software such as Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, if installed. If not installed, this information will be collected manually by viewing the installed software on each machine. All client computer software will be evaluated to ensure that it is up to date and that it meets or exceeds industry standards. For...

...Peer-to-Peer and Client/server Networks Professor: Karen Lederer Trevor Kale 4/16/2011 We shall discuess the difference between Peer-to-Peer networks and the Client/Server networks. First we need to describe how each one operates in order to view the differences between both. First we will describe a Peer-to-Peer network. In the Peer-to-Peer network every computer can communicate directly with every other computer.(2009, Dean, Pg.3) Because of this setup no one computer has more authority then another one on the network. Each person on the network can set their access and restrictions for other users to their computer. These configurations are simple to configure and due to the simplisity they do not require a great technical expertise. They also tend to be cheaper due to lack of need of equipment to establish this network. Some disadvantages consist of not being flexible, that is as they grow they become more difficult to handle. Security on these networks is very lacking due to ease of access of unauthorized access. They are also not very practical due to the lack of centralized resources requires a user to have their terminal on in order to access their resources. That is the basics of a Peer-to-Peer network setup, next we move on to the Client/Server model. In a Client/Server network a centralized computer known as a server facilitates communication between other computers on the network known as clients. For a computer to function as a server they must be running...

...Architectures: Peer-to-Peer, Client/Server, and Web-based 3 Part 2: Propose One Architecture in Detail 4 Part 3: Examine and Explain the Role of Protocols for Your Proposed Architecture 5 Part 4: Explain and Detail the Supporting Infrastructure for the Proposed Architecture 6 References 7 Part 1: Examine the Three Architectures: Peer-to-Peer, Client/Server, and Web-based A peer-to-peer network (P2P) is a network where all computers, workstations, and/or terminals are treated equally, i.e. the permissions and access is leveled across the board, and any one of the computers in the network can become the host (Englander, 2014). A way I worked this into my life was, while deployed, I set up a network where all computers connected to that network could share information and files as needed, so long as they were given access to the network in the first place. It was a small group, about 8 points of connection, using TCP/IP to communicate between the terminals, and was effective, however, I think we would have experienced some ‘bogging down’ of the network if we increased the number of people that had access to it. Because of the innate security risk that P2P networks exhibit, no sensitive information was permitted to be stored or shared on this network for any reason. Client-server architecture is application based being installed a user’s computer or workstation (i.e. the ‘client’) and through that can make requests from the server, and save back to the server as needed. In this...

...IS3220 VPN connectivity troubleshooting checklist 1. Users can't access file servers If the user can access the file server using an IP address but not a name, then the most likely reason for failure to connect is a name resolution problem. Name resolution can fail for NetBIOS or DNS host names. If the client operating system is NetBIOS dependent, the VPN clients should be assigned a WINS server address by the VPN server. If the client operating system uses DNS preferentially, VPN clients should be assigned an internal DNS server that can resolve internal network host names. When using DNS to resolve internal network host names for VPN clients, make sure that these clients are able to correctly resolve unqualified fully qualified domain names used on the corporate network. This problem is seen most often when non-domain computers attempt to use DNS to resolve server names on the internal network behind the VPN server. 2. Users can't access anything on the corporate network Sometimes users will be able to connect to the remote access VPN server but are unable to connect to any resources on the corporate network. They are unable to resolve host names and unable to even ping resources on the corporate network. The most common reason for this problem is that users are connected to a network on the same network ID as the corporate network located behind the VPN server. For example, the user is connected to a hotel broadband network and is assigned a private...

...the sale of items from the cash registers with additional features for interpreting the data. It uses a client-server model with a connected database to allow multiple stores and warehouses to be connected. This allows for later expansion while still supporting the targeted small businesses. The core features and final framework should be completed within 2 weeks, leaving 5 weeks to implement additional features and testing. 1. Operational Concepts The Inventory Management System is a real-time inventory database capable of connecting multiple stores. This can be used to track the inventory of a single store, or to manage the distribution of stock between several branches of a larger franchise. However, the system merely records sales and restocking data and provides notification of low stock at any location through email at a specified interval. The goal is to reduce the strain of tracking rather than to handle all store maintenance. Further features may include the ability to generate reports of sales, but again the interpretation is left to the management. In addition, since theft does occasionally occur, the system provides solutions for confirming the store inventory and for correcting stock quantities. 2. System Requirements The Inventory Management System uses a web-based interface to display inventory data to the stock manager client. The product will use of open-source software primarily due to cost of implementation. A JSP (JavaServer...

...Running head: CLIENT SERVER PROS AND CONS 1 Client Server Pros and Cons Henry Ford POS355 October 6, 2014 Mr. Kernan CLIENT SERVER PROS AND CONS 2 Client Server Pros and Cons Computer Networking has a vast amount of attributes. These attributes allow a system to not only function in a specific way but they also add definition to the system which in turn creates a specific identity. One of the identities of a Network is a Client/Server Network. The term "client server" defines a network system where computers known as servers are used. The Servers create central management. This form of management is used to access the network. Each network has a plethora of segments that are used for resources and data storage. These Network applications are used in Commercial applications more so than anywhere else. Since there are a variety of Network configurations, the end user has to determine which one of the specific Network features they want and also to consider the advantages and disadvantages of each system. Even though the Client/ Network architecture is the most desirable for most commercial businesses, there are certain disadvantages in this system. “The reason that client/server computing is still growing in popularity is because top management believes that it will save them money, and end-users believe that it will solve many of their computing problems.” (Windsor, 2011) Client/Server Definition: This type of computing provides the necessary comingling of personal computers...

...The University Student Registration System: a Case Study in Building a High-Availability Distributed Application Using General Purpose Components M. C. Little, S. M. Wheater, D. B. Ingham, C. R. Snow, H. Whitfield and S. K. Shrivastava Department of Computing Science, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 7RU, England. Abstract Prior to 1994, student registration at Newcastle University involved students being registered in a single place, where they would present a form which had previously been filled in by the student and their department. After registration this information was then transferred to a computerised format. The University decided that the entire registration process was to be computerised for the Autumn of 1994, with the admission and registration being carried out at the departments of the students. Such a system has a very high availability requirement: admissions tutors and secretaries must be able to access and create student records (particularly at the start of a new academic year when new students arrive). The Arjuna distributed system has been under development in the Department of Computing Science for many years. Arjuna’s design aims are to provide tools to assist in the construction of fault-tolerant, highly available distributed applications using atomic actions (atomic transactions) and replication. Arjuna offers the right set of facilities for this application, and its deployment would enable the University to exploit the existing...

...Chanee Lowry 6/6/16 Unit 3 IP Instructor: L. Meadors Peer to Peer vs. Client/server With peer-to-peer all of the PC’s on the same network act as equals sharing the same files and resources. Communications between these PC’s use a direct link with no central network controller, such as a client/server. Peer-to-peer network is the easiest to set up because it doesn’t require any software other than the operating system it came with. It also doesn’t require complex configuration of a client/server network. It is cost efficient and the only hardware required is two wireless NIC’s. Client/server uses a central PC (a server) that stores data and other resources. One centralized PC called the client which works as a host to many other computers or workstation’s called clients .The server uses a list of usernames and passcodes whereas peer-to-peer does not. Client/Server offers more security and is more stable. If one user crashes there system, than it could affect their peer-to-peer network. Most client /server networks share one server, making it easier to back up data and files Peer-to-Peer | Client/Server | Each PC is an equal participant on the network | One PC acts as the network controller | PCs are not reliant on one PC for resources such as the printer | One PC controls access to network resources | Access to the network is not centrally controlled | Network access and security are centrally controlled | Can operate on a basic PC operating system | Need a special operating...

...Secure File Storage Server First World Bank Savings and Loan has a need to deliver highly confidential customer data in PDF format for online customers. This can be done by uploading data to a Linux file server by bank employees within the LAN. This however is inaccessible for customers. First World Bank Savings and Loan has created a plan to make a secure web server so clients can access the data. In order to do this, we will set up a separate Linux virtual machine that will be running SFTP service that only works with a SSH connection. In order to connect with a SSH connection, users have to pre-authenticate through the web server and traffic needs to be forwarded from that web server to the SFTP server. The SFTP server will then take off the SSH “shell” and be able to read the SFTP traffic. In order to do this, we will implement MySecureShell software that will be installed on an Ubuntu release server. According to http://xmodulo.com/, MySecureShell is an OpenSSH server system that: •Limit per-connection download/upload bandwidth •Limit the number of concurrent connections per account •Hide file and directory owner/group/rights •Hide files and directories which user has no access to •Limit the life time of a connection •Chroot SFTP user into his/her home directory Secure Web and Database Servers Based on what is being asked I am recommending a database and Web server architecture along with this there will be explanations as to how they are secure and...
