Server jobs
File sharing is when have data stored in a network where other people can also access it.
Internet server-
Web host- a web host provides space for the person who can upload their personal site on to it.
E-mail- is a service that allows you to communicate whist using the internet. Also allows to you to transfer data to people.
Account Management- is setting up accounts and deciding the access level of each account.
Authentication- this is a service that commonly used in the internet, this will basically will prove if you are the person. An example of this service is login page.
File transfers- file transfer is the movement of one file to another location. The file is transferred by electronically, so it will transfer data from one computer to another.
Resource sharing – allows you to run programs across a network and allow you to use the program without you having the program.
VoIP- is when vocally communicating with another person whilst using a computer over the internet.
Online gaming- is a service which allows you to interact with people around the world and play against them over the internet.

Now list and describe at least 5 network assets that would need to be regularly identified and checked. (P5)
The estate agency will be adding ICT to their company, which will create a network. in network there are lots of assets which gradually builds a network. I am going to list five network assets which are …
- Server
- Cables
- Computer
- Printer
- HUB
I have suggested all the five network assets above; these are the most common that builds a network.
Server- a server will be needed; the server will be controlling all the computers and running the computers. The server will be checked, if the server failed, most computers will be affected unless they had a back up server.
Cables- the cables will need to be regularly checked because, cables sometime tend to break or be faulty. If this occurred than, this will stop computers from running and also data cannot be transferred.
Computer- the computer will be needed to be regularly checked because, computer sometime fail and stop working, this can be reason for viruses or operating system failure. Also if the computer is not regularly checked, the computer performance maybe decreasing and you need to check why that is.
Printer- the printer needs to be regularly checked because; printers always need refilling in order to print out work and also sometimes printer tend to have paper jam so its need monitoring.
HUB- this needs to be checked because, the hub will connect more than one computer together. If the hub failed in whole, this will stop computer from communicating.
Task 2
A computer peer-to- peer is a network that can be used for computer system. This specific network allows each work station has the same capabilities and responsibilities. The network allows you to communicate with computers. The advantages of this network are, it is easy to access and also faster. The other advantage is, it is simple to use and process.
The disadvantages of this network are, the network does not contain advance security features, and this means you maybe exposed to potential threats such as, viruses or malicious threats. the other disadvantage of this network is, to install something you must install it in every computer you cant install in the network unlike the client server network .Also another disadvantage can be, the performance of this network will not be good because P2P networks usually are simpler and if you use the network for heavy load of work it may not give you the top performance that is required for the work.
A client server network is either connected to a server or LAN. The client server runs around the server, everything you do will process through he server. The network allows you to communicate with computer like P2P; the network is plugged into a server, which a computer has to log into.
The advantages of the client server network are, the data and security is controlled by the server which gives increased security. The sever can access be accessed in multiply platforms. The other advantage is the server examine s the poor performance and improves it, also data is handled by the server which allows the network to run more efficient. The last advantage is, the network which is connected to the server collects all the data and stores it, which makes it easier to back up data.
The disadvantage of this network are, it tends to run slow because it is controlling so many computers at once and trying to make them all communicate at once, also another disadvantage is the silent server network is generally more expensive to set up. The other disadvantage is, if there was a problem occurred in the server, everything will fail, also the server can overload.
Server- the server is required because; server is the same as a computer, the server will provide data such as e.g. work, the eight computers will not save the work, the data will be saved in the server and the server will transfer the data to the specific computer. Also the server will keeps logs of things, so if the company need to check anything recent the server can provide them with that information.
