Exam 9: Client Server, intranet, and Cloud Computing

A _________ is a database in which information access is limited to the selection of rows that satisfy all search criteria.

The _________ is a networking facility that provides connectivity and transport of cloud services between cloud consumers and cloud providers.

All applications operate over a uniform _________.

________ is a set of drivers,APIs,or other software that improves connectivity between a client application and a server.

Which of the following is NOT a class of client / server processing?

In a ________ processing configuration,the application processing is performed in an optimized fashion,taking advantage of the strengths of both client and server machines and of the distribution of data.

__________ binding means that a logical connection is established between the two processes at the time of the RPC and that as soon as the values are returned,the connection is dismantled.

A computer that houses information for manipulation by networked clients is a __________.

_________ is a term used to refer to the implementation of Internet technologies within a corporate organization rather than for external connection to the global Internet.

Implementing an extranet removes the need for a company to maintain a public web site.

A benefit of extranets is:

__________ products are typically based on one of three underlying mechanisms: message passing,remote procedure calls,and object-oriented mechanisms.

Advantages of a web / database system as compared to a more traditional database approach include:

________ is software that improves connectivity between a client application and a server.

With __________ binding,a connection that is set up for an RPC is sustained after the procedure return.

A cloud broker evaluates the services provided by a cloud provider in terms of security controls,privacy impact,performance,and so on.

The client / server architecture is a blend of decentralized and centralized computing.
