Network Operating Systems and Distributed Computing: A
Comprehensive Exploration
Introduction
The modern computing landscape is characterized by a web of
interconnected devices, each requiring access to resources and facilitating
collaboration. Two key pillars underpinning this ecosystem are Network
Operating Systems (NOS) and Distributed Computing. NOS acts as the
conductor of the network orchestra, managing resources and ensuring
smooth communication, while Distributed Computing harnesses the
collective power of multiple computers for complex tasks. This report
delves deep into the concepts, challenges, and methodologies associated
with both NOS and Distributed Computing, aiming to provide a
comprehensive understanding of their roles in the current digital age.
Problem De nition
Network Operating Systems (NOS):
While NOS offer substantial bene ts for managing and securing network
resources, they face several challenges:
Cost: The cost of deploying and maintaining an NOS can be signi cant,
especially for large organisations, depending on the features, licensing
requirements, and necessary hardware infrastructure.
Distributed Computing:
Scalability and Load Balancing: Distributing tasks and data across nodes
ef ciently requires careful design considerations. Ensuring optimal
utilization of resources across all nodes and preventing overloading
speci c nodes is crucial for achieving optimal performance.
