Servers
the network operating system (NOS) turn a personal computer into a network server. servers on most networks are computer that hav ebeen optimised to run a network operating system. they might inlcude multiple cporcessors dedundant power supplies and heavy duty cooling systems and they will have signigicantly more RAM and hard drive space thean other machine sin the office.
some network operating systems need a dedicated server that is a computer running the NOS cannot be used for any other purpose. it is strictly a server. this is the case with novell netware
other network operating systems make it poosgbile to the server to perform othre functions for exampe you can compose a letter by using a word porecessing application on a microsoft windows 2000, but server reoursces are typically best used for precessing user requests; therefore, using the server to these types of task sis not recommended.
