Benefits and Functions of the Amoeba Distributed Operating System

That means that with the network operating system we can have lots of users all concurrently using resources on our serve.One of the most important aspects about server operating systems is the security. Workstation OS provides great security for end-users, but it's still not as tight as the security offered by the network operating systems. The reason for that is that with the network operating system were providing services to hundred or thousands of concurrent users. Therefore security is critical Workstation operating systems also provide some type of authentication by using user names and passwords which reside on local database on the local

An operating system must support a wide variety of networking protocols in order to meet the needs of its users. The user will be able to identify and make sure that various systems and servers are running smoothly, also the user is will if the system is loaded or

Parallel clustering: the database application is run parallel on both hosts. The difficulty in implementing parallel clusters is providing some form of distributed locking mechanism for files on the shared disk.

Server state can be divided into two part : the stateful and stateless server. The stateful server is that when a client open a file the server gives that client an unique identifier and stores client’s information into its memory. Although this method can improve performance, however, stateful server is generally be avoided in distributed system. On the other hand, stateless server uses totally different mechanism that the server identifies the file information and client position in each request but save nothing into its memory. The advantage is that it is easier to use fault tolerance on stateless server.

at a time,they are commonly connected to a LAN and run multiuser operating system.The resources which has to be managed

In this topology, The distributed systems are connected at different sites to loosely coupled with gateway system members. The cached data between different sites is entire to the applications within each distributed system. If any system becomes unavailable, the rest of the installation to continues and

Lock Service: The Lock Service is nothing but Chubby. The main usage of lock service is loosely-coupled distributed system. It also have large number of small machines which are intended to connect. The main purpose of lock service is to allow clients to communicate their activities and come to a common point about their environment. The important goals of lock service is reliability, availability to a large number of clients, and also provide easy-to-understand semantics. Chubby’s interface is similar to simple file system which performs file reads and

Your company is currently investigating the use of Linux. Your manager has asked you to research the feasibility of using Linux in both the server and workstation environments (from the operating system point of view). Your manager would like to see an 8- to 10-page paper that

Sunshine Machine Works has expanded its infrastructure. Its employees need remote access to the Intranet file server. The system implemented needs to have the following features:

I propose that our company consider implementing Linux for our servers and workstations. There are many excellent reasons to employ Linux as the operating system of choice for our company: Linux is ‘tried and true’; is used by many large companies, such as Google©, Amazon©, Facebook©, and many of the cloud service providers; is less expensive; more reliable and stable; has extensive free community support; uses memory and CPU resources more efficiently; is reasonably easy and quick to install; and is much less vulnerable to viruses and malware than the Microsoft Windows© operating system. Linux can be used on almost any type or brand of computer or server, including older models. I will demonstrate that Linux is a viable and less expensive alternative to Windows and will perform well in our server and workstation environments.

Linux is a trademark owned by Linus Torvalds [1]. It is an operating system which is powerful, free and inexpensive to own based on UNIX [1]. It is a POSIX-compliant with versions available to install in cell phones, supercomputers and most computing systems [1]. Linux is an open source program as its source code is available to the general public for use and the right to modify from its original design without any charges [1]. New code will be added to the next version made available with Linux if it is accepted as a universal improvement [1]. The code will continue to exist and developed by the user even if the company fails [1]. Moreover, updates for Linux are available every six months [1]. Nowadays, Linux is in constant development by

Three operating systems discuss in this paper each have their advantages and disadvantages from one another. The biggest advantage for Microsoft is the widespread use and compatibility with most every type of program out there. If you 're a Linux fan then you appreciate not only the price which is usually free but also that it is
