Some of the software applications that networks typically run are as
follows:
Electronic Mail
Email allows users to communicate quickly and easily with internal
employees, customers, and suppliers via electronic messages.
Databases
Databases allow easy access to a range of information that can be
sorted and organized into reports. When all users have access to a centralized
database, this helps ensure data integrity, resulting in excellent accuracy
and efficiency.
Modem Sharing
Modem-sharing software allows multiple users to share modems for
dial-out or connection to the Internet. It also facilitates fax-sharing services,
which allow users to compose and send faxes over the network.
Web Sharing and Publishing
With the popularity of the Internet, many businesses are either
establishing an online presence or setting up shop in cyberspace. Web servers
allow you to do both, bringing your business to millions of customers worldwide.
Client Software
"Clients" are the users whose computers are networked to a server.
Client software runs on individual desktops and workstations and facilitates
communication with the server. All Premio desktop and notebook computers can
be pre-installed with either Microsoft® Windows NT® Workstation, Microsoft
Windows® 98, or Microsoft Windows 2000® Professional. Both of these
client operating systems come equipped with the tools required to connect to
and communicate with a server. |
