• Network servers– Users use the Internet as a means of

connecting even if away from the offices.

1A-30


• Mainframes– Used in large organizations– Handle thousands of users– Users access through a terminal

1A-31


• Mainframes– Large and powerful systems

1A-32


• Minicomputers– Called midrange computers– Power between mainframe and desktop– Handle hundreds of users– Used in smaller organizations– Users access through a terminal

computers made– Handle large and

complex calculations– Process trillions of

operations per second

– Found in research organizations
