Thin-Client Computers
Low powered computers that rely on a central server for processing and storage, running applications in a virtual machine.
Thick-Client Computers
Computers that run their operating system and applications locally, performing data processing and storage on the device itself.
Network Topology
The physical or logical layout of a computer network, describing how devices are interconnected.
Bus Topology
A network configuration where each computer connects to a single backbone cable, transmitting data in packets.
Advantages of Bus Topology
Simple setup, cheaper installation, and easier troubleshooting.
Disadvantages of Bus Topology
No scalability, single point of failure, and increased data collisions.
Mesh Topology
A network where computers pass data to one another using the quickest route, can be partially or fully connected.
Advantages of Mesh Topology
No single point of failure, easy modification without disruption, and simultaneous data transfer.
Disadvantages of Mesh Topology
Expensive installation and complex network maintenance as it grows.
Star Topology
A network where all computers connect directly to a central point, with data passing through that central point.
Advantages of Star Topology
Faster data transfers, If one computer fails the others work and easy to scale.
Disadvantages of Star Topology
Requires additional hardware, single point of failure at the central point, and higher installation costs.
