Software
•
•
•
Application software: Programs for performing a specific task
– Word processing, spreadsheets, gaming, web page design, graphic design
System software:
– Operating software: Software that controls the overall operation of the
computer
• (more next)
– Utility software: Software that extends or customizes the capabilities of
the operating system
• Formatting
• compress/decompress data
• network communications
Distinction between Application and System software can be vague.
– Anti-trust and unfair business practice lawsuits against Microsoft have
been filed over the years.

Operating System Software
• Operating System (OS) – Software that controls the overall operation
of a computer

4
What is an operating system (OS)?
Operating System Software
Software which manages the overall operation of the computer system
including:
• hardware (CPU, RAM, I/O)
• security
• system interface
• application interface

What “is” an operating system?
Software files (programs) which are stored on the hard disk
• kernel with the internal programs
• external programs
Supporting Data Files
Rick Graziani [email protected]
8
The kernel
The operating system software file (program) which is copied into
RAM, usually from the hard disk drive, during the boot-up.
The kernel remains in RAM while the computer is on and is in
charge of the overall operations.
The kernel contains the “internal programs” for the most often
used operations like copying files.
• kmem (Linux)
• command.exe (Microsoft)
Rick Graziani [email protected]
9
Kernel
• Kernel – The internal part of the operating system.
– Those software components that perform the basic functions
required by the computer.
• File management
• Memory management (RAM)
• Security

10
The functions of an operating system
1. Manages and Interacts with Computer Hardware
2. Provides and Manages System Security
3. Provides the System Interface
4. Provides the Interface for Application Software
Rick Graziani [email protected]
11
1. Manages and Interacts with Computer Hardware
•
Manages the CPU
- What software programs the
CPU works on and when
•
Manages RAM
- What is stored in RAM and
where it is stored
- Virtual memory
- OS will send message when
RAM is full
Rick Graziani [email protected]
12
1. Manages and Interacts with Computer Hardware
(continued)
• Provides the interface for
storage devices and manages
how data is stored on those
devices
- in charge of formatting disks
- creates sectors and clusters
- creates F.A.T. or V.T.O.C.
- sends message when disk is
full or there is some other
problem with writing data to
the disk
- virtual memory
- CD-ROM, DVD-ROM
- Flash drive

13
1. Manages and Interacts with Computer Hardware
(continued)
•
Provides the Interface for Input
and Output Devices
– keyboard, mouse, printer,
– device drivers = software
programs which allow the
hardware device to be used
by the operating system and
by application software

14
Examples of Server Operating Systems
• MAC OS X Server
• Windows Server
Rick Graziani [email protected]
21
Advantages/Disadvantages of Server Operating
Systems
Advantages
• Central location for the
installation and administration
of all software and data
• More cost effective - less
expensive than multiple
computers (PCs, Macs)
Disadvantages
• Single source of failure
• Loss of individual user control
of their own software, data, and
peripherals
Rick Graziani [email protected]
22
2. Provides and Manages System Security
Single-user Operating Systems
• minimal security
• user has full authority (usually,
physical access)
Server Operating Systems
• login and password capability
(also in single-user OS)
• protection of user’s data
stored on the server’s central
hard disk drives
• protection and security for
software programs
Rick Graziani [email protected]
25
3. Provides the System Interface
System Interface or shell =
the interface between the
user and the computer
Command Line Interface (CLI)
• Linux, UNIX, DOS, older
OS’s
Graphical User Interface (GUI)
Rick Graziani [email protected]
26
Command Line Interface
DOS, UNIX, others
Rick Graziani [email protected]

33
Microsoft Windows 8

4. Provides the Interface for Application Software
•
Operating systems are software
• Operating systems are designed
and developed for a specific CPU
or “family of CPUs”
Rick Graziani [email protected]
35
4. Provides the Interface for Application
Software (continued)
•
Application software is developed
for an operating system
MS Word for Windows 7
• Windows 7
• Intel CPU
MS Word for the Macintosh
• Macintosh OS X
• Intel CPU

Virtualization, Cloud Computing
and Big Data
Virtualization
• Virtualization - Various techniques and methods of creating a virtual
(rather than actual) version of something, such as:
– Computer hardware platform
– Operating System (OS) – Virtual Machine or VM
– Storage device
– Network resources
Rick Graziani [email protected]
47
Virtual Computers
File/Storage Server
Email Server DHCP Server
DNS Server
Application Server
Web Server
Virtual
Machines
Rick Graziani [email protected]
48
Virtual Machine
•
•
Software that
supports multiple
operating systems on
a single computer.
Each operating
system is it’s own
“virtual machine” with
it’s own:
– Operating system
– RAM
– Storage
– Shared CPU
Rick Graziani [email protected]
49
VM
• A computer can run:
– Multiple operating systems simultaneously including the software
applications
Rick Graziani [email protected]
50
Virtual Machines
• Instead of being stored on the local
computer, the VMs may be stored on
a remote server.

51
Zero Clients
The Cloud
Zero Client (thin clients) just:
1.Connect to the network
2.Begins a networking protocol to communicate with the VM server
3.Displays the server's output:
– Operating system, applications and data
Basically the full OS and applications are run in “the cloud”

52
Zero Clients – No computer needed

55
Centralization of hardware and software
Fewer client “computers” means:
•Less cost – fewer “computers”
•Do not have to constantly upgrade computers or buy new computers
•Easier installation of software and upgrading current software
•Better utilization of resources
•Easier management of client computers
•Access “the cloud” from any device on the network.

56
Centralization – Looks familiar….
•
Rick Graziani [email protected]
The mainframe
computer has now
become the
“cloud”.
57
Cloud Computing
• Cloud computing – Ability to run a program on many connected
•
•
computers at the same time.
The popularity of the term is from the ability host application services
so that the client can access from a remote location.
Also known as distributed computing over a network

58
Where is the cloud…. In the Data Center
• A data center is a specialized facility used to house computer systems and
associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems.

Cloud
Computing
Cloud computing is offline computing in which large groups of
remote servers are networked to allow the centralized data
storage, and online access to computer services or resources.

Cloud Computing –
Outsourced Flexibility
• Outsourcing “some” IT (Information Technology) services to a third
•
party allows for flexibility and growth.
Example: WebAdvisor in the cloud?

Big data
(2012)
•
We are inundated
with data and
information.
Rick Graziani [email protected]
65
Big Data
• Big data - The collection of data sets so large and complex that it
•
•
becomes difficult to process using traditional database management
tools or traditional data processing applications.
Challenges: How to capture, organize, store, search, share, transfer,
analyze, and visualize.
How to use larger data sets of information, analyze the information and
use it to "spot business trends, determine quality of research, prevent
diseases, link legal citations, combat and prevent crime, and make
informed decisions.

Meta Data
• Metadata is data that describes other data.
• A metadata record is a file of information which captures the basic
•
•
characteristics of a data or information resource.
Metadata is traditionally in the card catalogs of libraries.
Metadata describes how and when and by whom a particular set of data
was collected, and how the data is formatted.

Big Data Jobs
• May 2013
• “Even though the job market is still difficult for some
industries, tech is booming. Gartner estimates that nearly
4.4 million IT jobs globally, including 2 million technology
jobs in the U.S., will be created to support big data by
2015.”
