SOLUTION
●● software
Answer: the programs and other operating information used by a
computer (operating system, application software, database software,
presentation software)
●● network
Answer: communication links that allow the computer systems to
communicate with each other no matter the distance/location (routers,
switches)
●● data
Answer: Facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis
(can be used for trend analysis, projections of sales revenue, other
applications of viewing and massaging the data)
●● end user
,Answer: The person or group who will use the hardware, software,
networks, and databases in their performance of their daily work
●● processes
Answer: the applications that a business uses in its daily operations
●● mainframe computer
Answer: massive, room-sized computers that process and store
enormous amount of bulk data and information
●● minicomputers
Answer: less powerful and smaller in physical size than mainframe
computers
●● microcomputers
Answer: smaller than mainframes and midrange computers and are so
common that they are most commonly referred to as computers and
sometimes referred as boxes
●● system software
Answer: software that runs in the background and requires very little or
no user intervention
●● operating software (platform)
,Answer: a collection of computer programs that work together to
manage hardware and software to ensure that they are working properly
●● file management

memory
●● cache
, Answer: a hardware or software component that stores data so that
future requests for that data can be served faster
●● RAM
Answer: a type of memory that allows data to be accessed in any other
without physical movement of the silicone media (primary storage)
●● Disk Management
Answer: An OS is responsible for reading and writing data and
information to a disk, typically a hard drive, solid-state drive (SSD), or
main memory
●● solid-state drive
Answer: a storage device that typically uses flash memory to store data,
instructions, and information
●● disk storage
Answer: Non-volatile, secondary storage that is recorded to a physical
device like a hard drive or optical disk with a read/write apparatus.
●● optical disk
Answer: a computer disk that uses optical storage techniques and
technology to read and write data
