- 11. An organization that maintains a gateway to the Internet and rents access to customers on a per use or subscription basis.
- 12. A command based interface that allows a user to issue commands.
- 13. An open source software platform that allows the storage, processing, and analysis of massive amounts of unstructured data; used primarily for cloud applications.
- 14. Part of a larger structure; a common term used in networking.
- 15. Software, infrastructure, and platform services that are hosted by a remote data center and provided to organizations or individuals over the Internet.
- 16. Any material that allows data to flow through it or be stored on it; includes hard and floppy disks, wire, cable, and fiber optics.
- 19. A peer to peer file sharing protocol used for distributing large amounts of data.
- 23. A computer that other computers can use to gain information; in network architecture, a host is a client or workstation.
- 24. An operating system that manages network resources.
- 25. A group of computers connected over an expansive geographic area so their users can share files and services.
- 28. The ability for a device to automatically track and report the user's location and availability.
- 30. A device that routes packets between networks based on network layer addresses; determines the best path across a network. Also used to connect separate LANs to form a WAN.
- 31. A client that acts as an interface to a collection of servers (for example, mainframes or PC based servers). A Web browser is a typical front end client.
- 32. The forms in which the data and business logic are presented on your screen. Presentation responsibilities include HTML forms and application specific interfaces such as Web browsers.
- 33. The ability of one computer system to communicate with another; often refers to different operating systems working together.

- 4. The coding necessary to create relationships in the data stored in a database.
- 6. A layered network architecture model of communication developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Defines seven layers of network functions.
- 7. A business trend that seeks to simplify and integrate all forms of communication. Also, a set of technologies that enable voice to be converted into text, and vice versa.
- 9. An individual computer connected to a network. Also, a system or application (such as a Web browser or user agent) that requests a service from another computer (the server) and is used to access files or documents.
- 10. Any entity on a network that can be managed, such as a system, repeater, router, gateway, switch or firewall. A computer or other addressable device attached to a network; a host.
