Resolving Network Operating System Problems Through Remote PC Support

Modern networking devices are quite complex in nature. It consists of both networking hardware and networking software. Network operating system(NOS in short form) is a system software which is the core component of networking software. It runs on networking devices to control the overall operations of the entire network. Basically it is a comprehensive operating system with complete task,file and job management. Few earlier versions of NOS were not independent software. Those versions of NOS ran under other operating systems. Some examples of early NOS are LAN server which ran under OS/2 and LANtastic ran under DOS. Unix,Linux,Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Mac OS X, Novell NetWare are the latest models of NOS. NOS vendors provide extensive network support for NOS problems.

Functions
NOS is designed based on client server architecture in which the server allows numerous clients to share resources. It handles simultaneous requests from multiple clients. Necessary network security is also provided by it in multi-user systems. Each client machine features one file sharing component which communicates with the server to access various resources like applications, data as  well as networking devices such as printers,modems and faxes. It allows addition of new clients and deletion and modification of existing clients. Status and functionality of each network element is monitored by it. It keeps data back up and enures data availability to each client machine. Any NOS could be configured for different operations with the help of PC support providers.
