Exam 4: Networks, Collaborative Technology, and the Internet of Things

As technologies that make up the mobile infrastructure evolve,identifying strategic technologies and avoiding wasted investments require more ad hoc adoption of mobile devices and network infrastructure.

Efficient Auto Parts is a wholesale distributor.They purchase auto parts in bulk from manufacturers and sell in smaller quantities to regional retail outlets.They understand that carrying excess inventory can be expensive.On the other hand,running out of inventory can lead to lost business.Therefore,they have created a network that their suppliers can log into to check inventory levels for the parts they sell.When inventory levels reach an agreed upon level,the supplier automatically sends more to the distributor,with all the documentation being handled electronically.This system is most likely part of what kind of network?

A(n)_______________ is a private,company-owned network that can be logged into remotely via the Internet.Typical users are suppliers,vendors,partners,or customers.

To insure QoS of a network,an alternative to "prioritizing traffic" is to __________,which means holding back traffic from non-time sensitive apps so that apps like voice and video run more effectively.

With _________,voice and data transmissions travel in packets over telephone wires.

In April 2014,ARIN reported that IPv4 addresses were running out,and therefore enterprises needed to re-use or duplicate their IP addresses.

Virtual private networks (VPN)provide additional security using ___________ prior to transmission.

_________ networks are high capacity digital networks.

List three of the basic functions of business networks and briefly describe what each function provides.

.IT developers use APIs to quickly and easily connect diverse data and services to each other.

Networking standards "802.11b","802.11a",and "802.11g" are different types of _____________ standards.

Different CPUs,operating systems,storage media,and mobile platform environments characterize the mobile device marketplace.This creates significant challenges for:

Cloud based brainstorming apps such as Evernote and iMindmap Online can help groups with idea generation when members of the group are geographically dispersed or have conflicting schedules that prevent them from meeting face-to-face.

Mobile networks and infrastructure have the potential to reduce healthcare costs.Tracking medical equipment and hospital inventory,such as gurneys,are done with _________ at a number of hospitals.

VPNs consist of encryption software and hardware that encrypt,send,and decrypt network transmissions.

When security issues are a special concern,companies want to take extra steps to make sure that transmissions can't be intercepted or compromised.In these situations they will use a network that encrypts the packets before they are transferred over the network.This solution is called a(n)___________________.

Which of the following represents the primary perspective of people who oppose Net Neutrality?

__________ is the basic communication protocol of the Internet.

The type of switching that breaks signals up into small blocks,sends them over the Internet,and then reassembles them at the destination is called __________ switching.
