Networking Operating System

A Networking Operating System (NOS) is specialized software that manages network resources and facilitates communication between computers and devices within a network. It enables multiple computers to share files, printers, and internet connections securely and efficiently. Think of it as the central coordinator that ensures all networked devices can talk to each other smoothly, assign permissions, and maintain security. Examples include Windows Server and Linux-based systems, which provide the foundational software layer for enterprise networks and facilitate centralized management and resource sharing.
