  2. Cloud computing architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing_architecture

    Infrastructure as a service is taking the physical hardware and going completely virtual (e.g. all servers, networks, storage, and system management all existing in the cloud). This is the equivalent to infrastructure and hardware in the traditional (non-cloud computing) method running in the cloud.

  3. Node (networking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node_(networking)

    In data communication, a physical network node may either be data communication equipment (such as a modem, hub, bridge or switch) or data terminal equipment (such as a digital telephone handset, a printer or a host computer). A passive distribution point such as a distribution frame or patch panel is not a node.

  4. Computer network diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network_diagram

    A computer network diagram is a schematic depicting the nodes and connections amongst nodes in a computer network or, more generally, any telecommunications network. Computer network diagrams form an important part of network documentation.

  5. Network topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_topology

    Network topology is the arrangement of the elements (links, nodes, etc.) of a communication network. [1] [2] Network topology can be used to define or describe the arrangement of various types of telecommunication networks, including command and control radio networks, [3] industrial fieldbusses and computer networks.

  6. Telecommunications network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_network

    A telecommunications network is a group of nodes interconnected by telecommunications links that are used to exchange messages between the nodes. The links may use a variety of technologies based on the methodologies of circuit switching, message switching, or packet switching, to pass messages and signals.

  7. Cloud communications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_communications

    Companies can cut costs with cloud communications services without sacrificing features. [4] The success of Google and others as cloud-based providers has demonstrated that a cloud-based platform can be just as effective as a software-based platform, but at a much lower cost. Voice services delivered from the cloud increases the value of hosted ...

  8. C-RAN - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-RAN

    C-RAN (Cloud-RAN), also referred to as Centralized-RAN, is an architecture for cellular networks. [1] [2] [3] C-RAN is a centralized, cloud computing-based architecture for radio access networks that supports 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G and future wireless communication standards. Its name comes from the four 'C's in the main characteristics of C-RAN system ...

  9. OSI model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model

    The Experimental Packet Switched System in the UK c. 1973 –1975 identified the need for defining higher-level protocols. [5] The UK National Computing Centre publication, Why Distributed Computing, which came from considerable research into future configurations for computer systems, [7] resulted in the UK presenting the case for an ...
