Intranet and Extra net
An Intranet is a private network
(LAN) that uses the TCP/IP protocol suite. However, access to the network is limited only to the users inside the organization.
The network uses application
programs defined for the global
Internet such as HTTP, and may
have web servers, print servers, file servers etc.
Extra net
Private network that uses the Internet protocol and the public telecommunication system
Shares part of a business's information with suppliers, vendors, partners, customers or other businesses.
Viewed as part of a company's intranet that is extended to users outside the company.
Artificial Neural Networks
ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS
•Neural Networks can supplement the enormous potential of traditional computers with the ability to make sensible decisions and to learn by experience.
•Neural Computation is done by a dense mesh of computing nodes and connections. They operate collectively and simultaneously on data inputs.
•Antennas are being used to solve many real world problems. They have an ability to derive meaning from complicated or imprecise data and can be used to extract patterns and detect trends that are too complex to be noticed by either humans or other computer techniques
•Applications of neural networks, that give an impression of its achievements, include
(i) text to speech transformation
(ii) Picture data compression
(iii) recognition of handwriting
(iv) explosives detector
(v) signature examiner and many more.
Server and Workstation
Individual workstations (clients) have access to the resources available on the file servers.
Novell Netware and Windows NT Server are
examples of client/server network operating
systems.
Advantages of Server/Workstation
Resources and data security are controlled through the server.
Any or all elements can be replaced individually as needs increase.
New technology can be easily integrated into the system.
Server can be accessed remotely and across multiple platforms.
Disadvantages of Server/Workstation
Requires initial investment in dedicated server.
Large networks will require staff to ensure efficient operation.
When server goes down, operations will cease across the network.
