Workstation. A NeXTcube workstation, the same type on which the World Wide Web was created by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in Switzerland. [1] A workstation is a special computer designed for technical or scientific applications. [2] Intended primarily to be used by a single user, [2] they are commonly connected to a local area network and run multi ...
An ATM network interface in the form of an accessory card. A lot of network interfaces are built-in. A network interface controller (NIC) is computer hardware that connects the computer to the network media and has the ability to process low-level network information. For example, the NIC may have a connector for plugging in a cable, or an ...
Networking hardware. Networking hardware, also known as network equipment or computer networking devices, are electronic devices that are required for communication and interaction between devices on a computer network. Specifically, they mediate data transmission in a computer network. [1] Units which are the last receiver or generate data are ...
Client (computing) -A 0.0.0.0 computer network diagram of client computers communicating with a server computer via the Internet. Client is a computer that gets information from another computer called server in the context of client–server model of computer networks. [1] The server is often (but not always) on another computer system, in ...
A network interface controller (NIC, also known as a network interface card, [3] network adapter, LAN adapter and physical network interface [4]) is a computer hardware component that connects a computer to a computer network. [5] Early network interface controllers were commonly implemented on expansion cards that plugged into a computer bus.
An artist's depiction of a 2000s-era desktop-style personal computer, which includes a metal case with the computing components, a display and a keyboard (mouse not shown) A personal computer, often referred to as a PC, is a computer designed for individual use. [ 1 ] It is typically used for tasks such as word processing, internet browsing ...
The client–server model is a distributed application structure that partitions tasks or workloads between the providers of a resource or service, called servers, and service requesters, called clients. [1] Often clients and servers communicate over a computer network on separate hardware, but both client and server may reside in the same system.
A wireless personal area network (WPAN) is a PAN carried over a low-powered, short-distance wireless network technology such as IrDA, Wireless USB, Bluetooth, NearLink or Zigbee. The reach of a WPAN varies from a few centimeters to a few meters. WPANs specifically tailored for low-power operation of the sensors are sometimes also called low ...
