Operating System Software

Operating system software includes platforms for operating, managing, and monitoring industrial networks and computers. Unlike client software which resides on an individual’s computer, operating system software resides on a server and manages programs and services for multiple users across a network. Typically, trained information technology (IT) personnel install and maintain server software and operating system software. For example, Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers (MCSE) design and implement an infrastructure for business solutions based on the Windows platform (2000) and Microsoft Servers System (2003).
