- 2A collection of wires that carry data from one place to another on a computer’s motherboard.bus
- 3Term used to describe an OS designed mainly to access network resources, a computer’s primary role in a network (running user applications and accessing network resources), and software that requests network resources from servers.client
- 4Computers that provide a mechanism for users to access a network’s resources remotely.communication servers
- 5An instance of a processor inside a single CPU chip. See also multicore CPU.core
- 6A username and password or another form of identity used to access a computer.credentials
- 7Software that provides the interface between the OS and computer hardware.device driver
- 8The software that manages centralized access and security in a serve based network.directory service
- 9A collection of users and computers in a server-based network whose accounts are managed by Windows servers called domain controllers. See also domain controller.domain
- 10A computer running Windows Server with Active Directory installed; maintains a database of user and computer accounts as well as network access policies in a Windows domain. See also directory service.domain controller

- 18An internetwork confined to a geographic region, such as a city or county; uses third-party communication providers to provide connectivity between locations.metropolitan area network (MAN)
- 19A CPU containing two or more processing cores.multicore CPU
- 20An operating system’s capability to run more than one application or process at the same time.multitasking
- 21A computer that stores names and addresses of computers on a network, allowing other computers to use computer names rather than addresses to communicate with one another.name server

- 23The application or OS service that can request information stored on another computer.network client software
- 24A Linux directory service that supports centralized logon.Network Information Service (NIS)
- 25A model defining how and where resources are shared and how access to these resources is regulated.network model
- 26The software defining the rules and formats a computer must use when sending information across the network.network protocols
- 27The software that allows a computer to share its resources by fielding requests generated by network clients.network server software
- 28A chunk of data with source and destination IP addresses (as well as other IP information) added to it. Packets are generated by and processed by network protocols.packet
- 29A network model in which all computers can function as clients or servers as needed, and there’s no centralized control over network resources.peer-to-peer network
- 30Term used to describe an OS designed mainly to share network resources, a computer with the primary role of giving client computers access to network resources, and the software that responds to requests for network resources from client computers.server
- 31A network model in which servers taken on specialized roles to provide client computers with network services and to provide centralized control over network resources.server-based network
- 32A computer that doesn’t have the necessary hardware or software to communicate on a network.stand-alone computer
- 33A specialized network that uses high-speed networking technologies to give servers fast access to large amounts of disk storage.storage area network (SAN)

- 35A computer running software that allows users to access HTML and other document types with a Web browser.Web server
- 36wide area networks (WANs)Internetworks that are geographically dispersed and use third-party
communication providers to provide connectivity between locations. See also
