An interconnected network, or the internet, is the main source of information. It's a string of fiber cables that connects all the continents (WAN or the Wide Area Network) to allow the exchange of communication and information across the globe. 

It became available and was delivered to the premises using different media such as copper, fiber, or wireless frequency. From the outside source entering the premises, the LAN, or the local area network, establishes the connection between the network and client devices. Ethernet cables can be classified by distance and transmission speed. UTPs like CAT5, CAT6, CAT6e, and coaxial cables are commonly used, while radio frequencies in the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands deliver Wi-Fi signals. Setting up on the network requires careful consideration, especially in identifying the topology that will work best and will meet the networking needs of the client devices, such as star, ring, or token ring, bus, and mesh topologies. 

Data transmissions became standard with the help of the OSI model, or the Open Systems Interconnection. Its a seven-layered approach to secure and transmit data over connected network devices. It is comprised of the physical layer, which refers to the mediums used; the data link to establish device familiarity and segmentation; the network layer that performs the routing of data; the transport layer, which ensures data integrity; the session layer that establishes the session between the devices; the presentation layer that arranges the data based on technology; and the application layer that interacts with the user. 

File storage and sharing are also integral parts of data transmission in networked systems; servers and storage devices, the network operating system, and the network file system should be securely configured. The storage capacity, data transmission speed, and the choice of NOS are some of the specifications that affect file storage and file sharing efficiency; therefore, along with software compatibility, these should be taken into consideration upon setup. 

To achieve efficiency and an optimal internet experience, networked systems should be managed, maintained, and monitored in the best way possible. 

The 1st module of the Advanced Computer Systems, which focuses on single-processor systems, provides substantial proof that single-processor systems are the prevalent CPUs used for personal and office computers. Single-processor systems can be classified by the number of cores and threads. Higher cores and threads mean higher computing prowess; computers with these CPU specifications can perform multiple tasks simultaneously with better energy efficiency, as the workload is distributed across all cores to maintain high performance without overstraining a single point.

While some might consider a single-processor, single-core system inferior, it actually remains highly effective, especially for tasks that require sequential computing dependent on single-thread speed. Furthermore, the single-core, single-processor systems' performance can be maximized by increasing the frequency (overclocking), partnered with effective power management and a cooling system.

With the advancement of the CPU architecture, tech consumers now have a wide array of single-processor systems to choose from to help achieve the superior computing performance needed for their daily tasks.
