![Page 2: Chapter 7 LAN Operating Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5461f111af7959d8588b4f7e/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
LAN Software
• Network operating systems– Interface between hardware and application
software
• Application software: client front ends and server back ends or engines– Productivity software: e-mail, groupware etc.– Resource management software: security &
monitoring
![Page 3: Chapter 7 LAN Operating Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5461f111af7959d8588b4f7e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Vertical Software Compatibility
• Common compatibility protocol
• Types– Server: hardware drivers, OS, network
operating system, DBMS, application back-ends, e-mail, groupware, distributed processing
– Client: hardware drivers, OS, network operating system, database front-end, query tools, application tools, groupware, other network applications, distributed processing front-end, user interfaces

Horizontal Software Compatibility
• Transparency between similar software layers between different client and servers
• Use middleware– Database middleware– Network operating system middleware– Operating system middleware– Distributed application middleware

NOP Architectures
• Peer-to-peer
• Client/server
• Current client/server
![Page 6: Chapter 7 LAN Operating Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5461f111af7959d8588b4f7e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Peer-to-Peer NOSs
• Traditional NOSs: LANtastic or PowerLAN
• Printing & file sharing for less than 50 users
• Workstation as service requester (client) and/or service provider (server
• Lacking interoperability and scalability
![Page 7: Chapter 7 LAN Operating Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5461f111af7959d8588b4f7e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Client/server NOSs
• Client software and server software: Netware3.12 and Microsoft LANManager
• Scalability, fast, reliability
• Lacking interoperability
![Page 8: Chapter 7 LAN Operating Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5461f111af7959d8588b4f7e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Current Trend of NOSs
• Client NOSs: universal client• Server NOSs have performance characteristics
– NetWare for file and printing servers
– Windows NT, OS/2, UNIX for application servers
• Small business NOSs– High-quality file and printing sharing service
– DOS based, with minimal memory and disk requirement
– Easy installation, configuration, and management
– Dedicated 32-bit server software
– Bundled workgroup software (chat, e-mail)
– Easy migration to server-based NOSs
