Exam 9: Client Server, intranet, and Cloud Computing

A common method for encapsulating communication in a distributed system is the __________.

A _________ is a networked information requestor,usually a PC or workstation,that can query database and / or other information from a server.

An advantage of an intranet-based approach to corporate computing is:

________ is a set of function and call programs that allow clients and servers to intercommunicate.

________ is a set of function and call programs that allow clients and servers to intercommunicate.

A _________ is a generalization of the firewall approach and takes advantage of IP security capabilities to allow secure communications between external users and the company's intranet.

Support tools for intranets are easily available.

________ machines are typically single-user PCs or workstations that provide a highly user-friendly interface to the end user.

Most client / server environments emphasize the use of a GUI.

_________ processing refers to the traditional mainframe environment in which all or virtually all of processing is done on a central host.

The service-oriented architecture (SOA)is a form of client / server computing.

Client-server computing is fundamentally based on networking.

Intranets are expensive to implement,but inexpensive to maintain.

The traditional client / server architecture involves two levels,or tiers: a client tier and a _________ tier.

A(n)_________ uses Internet technology and applications to provide in-house support for distributed applications.

Database applications are among the most common client-server implementations.

Traditional client / server architecture is also called 3-tier architecture.

NIST defines three service models that can be viewed as nested service alternatives: SaaS,PaaS,and IaaS.

With ___________,or asynchronous primitives,a process is not suspended as a result of issuing a Send or Receive.

________ is a language developed by IBM and standardized by ANSI for addressing,creating,updating,or querying relational databases.
