    This document discusses different types of computers and their typical uses. Supercomputers are the most expensive and used to solve massive scientific problems. Mainframes are large central computers used by major corporations for mission critical applications like transaction processing. Servers provide services to large groups of users within organizations or on the web. Workstations are used for specialized fields like medicine, engineering and graphics for 3D modeling and visualization. Personal computers are for individual and small business use, and portable computers are increasingly part of organizational infrastructures. Virtualization allows combining multiple physical servers into single more efficient virtual servers. Power management software helps conserve energy use.

    Question 1

     Supercomputer
    - most expensive
    - for solving massive scientific problems

     Mainframe computer
    - main,central computing system for major corporations.
    - for mission critical application, such as transaction processing.

     Server
    - provide services for users within large organization or to web users.
    - for access by many concurrent users.

     Workstation
    - for medical, engineering, architectural, or animation and graphics
    design users.
    - for visualization and rendering of these three-dimensions models

     Personal computer
    - for personal computing and small business computing.
    - portable computers(I.e. notebook computers,netbooks,tablets, and
    smartphones) have increasingly become part of and organization’s
    information system infrastructure.
    Question 3

     Virtualising servers
    - companies take many physical servers and combine them so they run
    on single larger and more effiecient server, each in its own virtual space.

     Power management software
