Internet Protocol (IP)

What is Internet Protocol (IP)?

The internet protocol is a set of rules by which data sent from source computer to destination computer over internet. The data that traveled across the internet is divided into smaller pieces called packets. The internet protocols information is attached to each packet. Based on IP addresses in the packet headers, it delivers the packets from the source host to the destination host, then internet protocols defines the packet structure that encapsulates the data to be delivered.

Each computer (or host) that connects to the internet has unique IP address that identifies from all other computers on the internet. Therefore the transport protocols is used in combination with internet protocols, the most common transport protocols are TCP and UDP. The original Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) was introduced by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn in 1974. The first major version of the internet protocols is Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) is the dominant protocols of the Internet and its successor is Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6).

What is IP Address?

IP address is a unique identifier address assigned to host, each IP address contains series of characters, for example 172.16.1.1. Therefore it connects with the browser via the internet to provide information to the users. IP address translates into human-readable domain names via DNS which the users can access websites without memorizing series of characters. The internet protocols packet will contains both the IP address of the sender host and receiver host.Error! Filename not specified.

Printer

What is Printer? Another widely used output device is a printer and it is a computer peripheral device. A printer produces a hard copy of a processed text or a result. A hard copy refers to a permanent human-readable text or graphics taken on physical print media such as paper or transparency. A printer will use toner to provide a quality print on paper, a toner is a replaceable material. Once the toner gets empty we can refill it and reuse it.  Most of the printers are used for commercial purposes such as private offices, industries, government offices, photo studios, etc,. Most of the printers are used to print emails, documents, files, images, color photos, color documents, color posts, banners, advertisement posters, etc,. There are the following 5 types of printers such as dot matrix printer, inkjet printer, laser printer, dye-sublimation printer, and plotter printer this are all the printer which uses nowadays for a printing purpose. A printer is characterized by the followin...

Dot Matrix Printer

What is Dot Matrix Printer? A dot matrix printer or impact matrix printer refers to a type of computer printers with a print head that contains a cluster of pins. The pins run back and front on the page and print by impact with striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against a paper similar to a typewriter. The Dot-matrix printers can print at a speed of 500 cps. Therefore a low-resolution dot matrix printers use 9 pins and a high-resolution dot matrix printer uses 24 pins. Then the low-resolution dot matrix is use to apply ink on the surface for layout.  In this a printer is able to print different patterns but not only the specific characters. Then a Dot-matrix printers are work as a non-impact method such as laser printers or inkjet printers where they also use the same process for printing. In this each dots produce by a wire or pin which is a tiny metal rod. The tiny electromagnet give the power to move forward directly small levers and a ribbon mask holder which facing the papers...

Blade Server

What is Blade Server? A blade server is a compact, high density, self-contained server that chassis housing multiple thin, modular electronic circuit boards, known as server blades. It is used in the datacenters to save space, minimize power consumption, reduce cooling expenses, redundancy, reduce cabling, increase storage capacity, and reduce energy cost. Each blade is a server in its own right, often dedicate to a single application. It consists of hot-plug hard drives, memory, input/output cards, and network cards. With enterprise-class blade servers, storage is external, and blades are diskless. A blade servers is used for hosting virtual platforms, file sharing, SSL encryption of web communication, streaming audio and video content, database hosting, and application hosting. Blade Server Benefits of Blade Servers The following benefits of blade servers are Minimize Power Consumption Storage Capacity is High Less needs for Cables High Space Saving Scalable Architecture Diskless or ...
