FRAMEWORKS EXAM 2025/2026
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100% PASS
The client-server model is one in which servers provide - ANS storage and processing power
to a number of clients, which are workstations or other devices, such as printers, on the
network
Client workstations (also called microcomputers) include - ANS desktop or laptop computers
Workstations can stand on their own, but, in the client-server model, they rely on a -
ANS network connection to other workstations, servers, and peripherals to generate added
capabilities
The decision rule as to what should be on the workstation versus what is on the server is to -
ANS put any applications dedicated to a single user on the workstation while all resources
that need to be shared are on one or more servers.
Servers are - ANS powerful, specialized computers with much larger memories, multiple
processors, and other dedicated hardware as well as dedicated backup systems and protocols
Servers provide specialized services to - ANS multiple internal and/or external clients
simultaneously and often serve specialized functions such as a web server or an internal
database and host for a powerful and complex shared application.

, Workstations also may have specialized functions in an organization's information system, for
example - ANS data-entry workstations, end-user workstations such as for accounting, or
computer-aided audit testing (CAAT) workstations.
Hand-held devices may also be considered - ANS workstation equipment
Some hand-held devices may be specialized (e.g., for data input only), while others have -
ANS a full range of functionality.
Many such devices are specialized for a certain organizational function, such as to -
ANS assist in retail sales
Both servers and clients (workstations and peripherals) are part of the - ANS hardware of the
IT system infrastructure and therefore may be included in audits of hardware controls
Networks are needed to enable the - ANS client-server system to operate
A network consists of - ANS physical wires and wireless data transmission hardware as well
as other dedicated hardware and software
A common type of network is a - ANS local area network (LAN), which is a network that can
be physically interconnected
When a network is distributed over a wider geographic area, such as among several campuses
in different regions, it is called a - ANS wide area network (WAN)
virtual private network (VPN) - ANS a set-up of software and/or hardware to allow remote
users a secure (encrypted) channel for accessing a network as a full-fledged internal user with
appropriate role-based access.
intranet site - ANS for shared services such as time card entry or the ability to check sales.
