Virtual File System Mounting & Searching With Network JVM For LAN

摘要

Computer technology has rapidly grown over past decades. Most of this can be attributed to the Internet as many computers now have a need to be networked together to establish an online connection. A local area network is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communication line or wireless link to the service. Typically, a LAN compasses computers and peripherals connected to a secure server within a small geographic area such as an office building or home computer and other mobile devices that share resources such as printer or network storage. A LAN is contrasted in principle to a wide area network(WAN)which covers a larger geographic distance and may involve leased telecom circuits while the media for LANs are locally managed. Ethernet are twisted pair cabling & Wi-Fi are the two most common transmission technologies in use for LAN. The rise of virtualization has fueled the development of virtual LAN(WLAN)which allows network administrator to logically group network nodes & partition their networks without the need for major infrastructure changes. In some situations, a wireless LAN or Wi-Fi maybe preferable to a wired LAN because of its flexibility & cost. Companies are asserting WLANs as a replacement for their wired infrastructure as the number of smart phones, tablets & other mobile devices proliferates.
