Modern Trends & Interpreting Schematics

Modern Trends

Virtualisation

  • Separates the operating system from the underlying hardware.

  • Allows you to run multiple operating systems on the same system.

  • Popular in servers for backups and for making full use of server resources.

Cloud Computing

  • Accessing of computer resources on a remote server, rather than the local device.

  • Three main categories:
  • Infrastructure as a Service - servers that can be accessed to use for storage.
  • Platform as a Service - servers that supply an environment for developing and testing software .
  • Software as a Service - servers that deliver software applications over the Internet .

  • Creates vulnerabilities which we looked at these in the lesson “System Vulnerabilities 2”.

Bring Your Own Device

  • A policy which permits users to bring their own devices to use in the workplace.

  • Believed to increase productivity and offer worker flexibility.

  • Can make it easier to introduce malware to network or other malicious attacks.

Software-Defined Networking (SDN)

  • A technology that separates the intelligence of the network from the hardware.

  • This permits centralised configuration and management of a network and network devices, plus some automation.

  • This is as opposed to having to individually configure each network device.

Internet of Things

  • Everyday devices that can operate, connect to each other and exchange data within the Internet.

  • E.g. Hive, which allows users to control their central heating and other systems from their phone or a website.

  • Creates vulnerabilities which we looked at these in the lesson “System Vulnerabilities 2”.

Network Diagrams

Network Diagrams

  • Network diagrams provide a visual representation of the structure of a network.

  • There are a variety of software tools you can use to produce network diagrams:
  • CISCO Packet Tracer
  • Microsoft Visio
  • Dia

Network Diagram Symbols

  • Whichever software you use there are standard symbols you will often use. These include:

  • The important part of being able to interpret a network diagram is understanding the purpose of the different devices.

Drawing Network Diagrams

  • When we connect these devices together, they can form a network.

  • To better understand how these may connect in a typical network diagram, we’ll look at a simple example:
