Q

Hyper Text Transport Protocol (http)

A

Protocol between browsers and Web servers

request/response

26
Q

HTTPS -

A

secure HTTP data transmission

27
Q

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) does what

A

Email transmissions (see settings on mobile)

28
Q

File Transfer Protocol (ftp) does what

A

– Used to move files over the internet

– Secure version is SFTP

29
Q

Internet vs. Web

A

• The “Internet” involves any of the four application
layer protocols we have discussed
• The Web involves only the HTTP or HTTPS protocol
25 Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing As Prentice Hall

30
Q

– Breaks traffic up into packets and sends each one along
its way
– Works with TCP programs to ensure information arrives
– TCP programs detect missing data and request retransmission
as needed

A

• TCP or Transmission Control Protocol

31
Q

– Specifies the routing of information through the network
(IP address)
– Goal is make sure that all of the puzzle pieces (packets)
can be re-assembled at their destination

A

IP (Internet Protocol)

32
Q

“A special purpose computer that moves packet traffic

according to the rules of IP protocol”.

A

ROUTER

33
Q

Public IP Addresses. 3 things about it

A

– Identify a particular device on public Internet
– Public IP addresses must be unique, worldwide
– Assignment controlled by ICANN (Internet Corporation
for Assigned Names and Numbers)

34
Q

– Identify a particular device on a private network

A

Private IP Addresses

35
Q

IP Addressing major benefits

A

– Public IP: All devices on LAN share a public IP address.
– Private IP address, need not register computer with
ICANN-approved agencies.

36
Q

– Four decimal dotted notation like 165.193.123.253

A

IPv4

37
Q

Newer format (global pressures)

A

IPv6

38
Q

Worldwide-unique name affiliated with a public IP

address

A

Domain name

39
Q

Virtual Private Networks (VPN). 3 things about it

A

• Using the internet to create the appearance of private pointto-
point connections
• VPN client software encrypts messages and appends the IP
address of the VPN Server to the package.
• VPN Server receives the package, strips of IP address,
decodes the message, and delivers to recipient on LAN

40
Q

What Processing Occurs on a

Typical Web Server?

A

3 tier architecture

41
Q

What 3 things are included in the Three-Tier Architecture

User tier

43
Q

• Computers that run a DBMS that processes requests to

retrieve and store data

A

database tier

44
Q

• Computers that run Web servers and process application

programs

A

server tier

45
Q

What Processing Occurs on a

Typical Web Server?

A

First you have user, which is the user tier, using web browsers. Then you have the web server tier that applications and instructions. The server tier and the Database tier interact and pass back and forth instructions and data.

programmatically in a short span of time, and only pay for
resources used

A

Elastic

54
Q 
Many organizations using the same physical hardware
via virtualization (see Virtualbox)
A

Pooled

55
Q

Q5. Why Is the Cloud the Future for Most

Organizations?

A

• Cloud
– Elastic leasing of pooled computer resources over the
Internet
• Elastic
– Dynamically increasing/decreasing a leased resource
programmatically in a short span of time, and only pay for
resources used
• Pooled
– Many organizations using the same physical hardware
via virtualization (see Virtualbox)

56
Q

When Does the Cloud Not Make Sense?`

A

• Only when law or industry standard practices require
physical control over the data
– Healthcare and banking are good examples
• Private cloud
• In-house hosting, delivered via Web service
standards`

57
Q

How Can Organizations Use the

Cloud? 3 ways

A

SaaS (software as a service)
PaaS (platform as a service)
laaS (infrastructure as a service)

58
Q

Examples of SaaS

A

Salesforce.com
iCloud
Office 365

59
Q

Examples of Paas

A

Microsoft Azure

Oracle on Demand

60
Q

Examples of laaS

A

Amazon Elastic Cloud 2

Amazon Simple Stoarge Service

61
Q

Q7: 2022?

A
  • Cloud computing benefit
  • Individuals on iCloud
  • Small groups using Office 365
  • Startups Using PaaS
  • Huge organizations using IaaS
