Different types of Operating System
Operating systems are
those which is there right from the first generation, and it’s being improved
from one period to other.
Batch operating system
Batch operating system
works on offline like punch cards, it patches up all the similar kind of data’s
and processes it at the same time. Rest of the jobs are done one by one
accordingly.
Some of the problems
with Batch Systems are following.
Interaction between
user and jobs are less
Cpu remains idle always
because the user interaction between the jobs and user are less
Priority provided is
less and difficult
Time-sharing operating
systems
Time sharing operating
system, shares the time between multi users, this shares many users response in
the multiplexing system. The main motive of using this time sharing operating
system is that multiplexing, sharing different users time and completing the
job.
Advantages of
Timesharing operating systems are following
Provides quick
response.
Duplication of software
is avoided
CPU idle time is
reduced
Disadvantages of Timesharing
operating systems are following.
Reliability problem
Data communication problem.
Distributed operating
System
Then came the
distributed operating system, it shares many different hosts to share the
working space between different clients and host. It reduces the time of
operation considerably and speeds up the operation too. Example of this type of
system is telephone line.
The advantages of
distributed systems are following.
Multiple sharing of
resources
Data exchange is done
in very fast manner
No interruption occurs
even one site fails to work
Load reduction in
computer
Network operating
System
Network operating
system gives separate host for operation that is a separate centralized network
for working to the users. The network is known as LAN network. Few examples of
these networks are Windows 2003, windows 7, windows 8, mac os etc…
The advantages of
network operating systems are following.
servers are highly stable.
Security is server
managed.
Upgrades to new
technologies
Remote access to servers
The disadvantages of
network operating systems are following.
High cost
Regular maintenance
