Server

Is a computer system that provides services to other computing systems—called clients—over a network. The term server can refer to hardware (such as a Sun computer system) or software (such as an RDBMS server).

Client

is a computer system that accesses a (remote) service on another computer by some kind of network. The term was first applied to devices that were not capable of running their own stand-alone programs, but could interact with remote computers via a network. These dumb terminals were clients of the time-sharing mainframe computer.The client-server model is still used today on the Internet, where a user may connect to a service operating on a remote system through the internet protocol suite. Web browsers are clients that connect to web servers and retrieve web pages for display. Most people use e-mail clients to retrieve their e-mail from their internet service provider's mail storage servers. Online chat uses a variety of clients, which vary depending on the chat protocol being used.Increasingly, existing large client applications are being switched to websites, making the browser a sort of universal client. This avoids the hassle of downloading a large piece of software onto any computer you want to use the application on. An example of this is the rise of webmail.www.webopedia.com/TERM/ C/client_server_architecture.html - 53k

Media

Materials that hold data in any form or that allow data to pass through them, including paper, transparencies, multipart forms, hard, floppy and optical disks, magnetic tape, wire, cable and fiber. Media is the plural of "medium." Any form of information, including music and movies. May also refer to CDs, DVDs, videotapes and other prerecorded material.

SHARED DATA

Data that is updated by more than one functional area and/or is critical to more than one unit's business processes; for example, Employee ID, Department, Location and Address. See Shared Data Process.Files on the server that can be shared across the network.In order for two or more systems to provide the same access to the same data, they must have some way to share that data. This is actually a much more difficult thing to do than would appear at first glance. If the data changes frequently, there must be some way to keep all the systems synchronized. In this section we'll look at some software and hardware solutions that can be used to share data.www.umkc.edu/registrar/sis/glossary.asp

SHARED PRINTERS AND OTHER PERIPHERALS

Printers in the group access to the shared printer, but each computer must use the drivers for its own operating system. First, make sure the printer and the PC it's attached to are on. Then start the Add Printers wizard, which you'll find under Printer Tasks in Printers And Faxes. Within the wizard, select "A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer," then browse to the shared printer and select it. When you're done, you'll be able to print to the shared printer from any of the computers in the workgroup the same way you would to a local printer.

RESOURCES

System components which can be used by the central processor, particularly, storage, memory, and input/output channels and devices like printers; also associated files and software.Equipment, telecommunications, video telecommunications, proprietary software, and purchased services. It resources may also include personal services when OFM approvals are obtained and all reporting/approval requirements of OFM are followed.

BROADBAND

2006-09-24T18:36:00.000-07:00

In general, broadband refers to telecommunication in which a wide band of frequencies is available to transmit information. Because a wide band of frequencies is available, information can be multiplexed and sent on many different frequencies or channels within the band concurrently, allowing more information to be transmitted in a given amount of time (much as more lanes on a highway allow more cars to travel on it at the same time). Related terms are wideband (a synonym), baseband (a one-channel band), and narrowband (sometimes meaning just wide enough to carry voice, or simply "not broadband," and sometimes meaning specifically between 50 cps and 64 Kpbs).

A type of data transmission in which a single medium (wire) can carry several channels at once. Cable TV, for example, uses broadband transmission. In contrast, baseband transmission allows only one signal at a time.
Most communications between computers, including the majority of local-area networks, use baseband communications. An exception is B-ISDN networks, which employ broadband transmission.

" Manindigan para sa Filipino bilang Wikang Panturo"

My karapatan ang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas (UP) na manindigan at isulong ang kanilang
ipinaglalaban dahil nga malaki ang kanilang naging papel at nagampanan sa pagtaguyod
sa wikang filipino bilang wikang panturo.Pero diba maganda ring isulong natin ang wikang
English dito sa ating bansa upang hindi tayo maging mangmang pgdating sa ibang bansa.
Aminin man natin o hindi ang mga kabataan ngayon ay nagiging mahina na pagdating sa
larangan ng English dahil sa hinahayaan natin silang magsalita ng tagalog kahit na ang subject
ay english.Hindi ko sinasabing pabor ako sa pag-iimplementa ng wikang english dito sa
Pilipinas.Ang gusto ko lang iparating ay,diba mas manganda kung sabay na lang natin isulong
ang wikang tagalog at wikang english dahil pareho naman itong mahalaga at pareho nating ginagamit.

IT Outsourcing reaction

2006-08-18T04:56:00.000-07:00

The objective of this research project is to examine the impact of information systems (IS) outsourcing announcements on the market value of contract-granting firms. This study is important to researchers, professionals, and policy makers as it provides empirical evidence from the capital market that outsourcing is considered to be a value-added business exchange for contract-granting firms. Research findings indicate positive and significant market value gains for smaller vs. larger firms and service vs. nonservice industry firms. The significant effects observed in this study are explained by the existence of information asymmetry in the capital market for smaller firms and service firms, and by the relatively higher investment made by service firms in information technology. This study contributes to accounting research by examining the importance of providing financial report users with nonfinancial forward-looking information concerning management's strategic decisions, such as the decision to outsource IS functions. Additionally, the current study complements and extends extant IS outsourcing research, as it integrates efficient market and capital market theory into ongoing investigations aimed at identifying the underlying determinants of IS outsourcing decisions.
