Performance Comparison of Three Models in Computer Network Cost Saving  
  Authors : AbadiNugroho

 

Computer network model will determine the amount of charge needed to build its infrastructure. A mistake in the determination of the network model in an agency would be bad in the budget should be spent. In fact, in the purchase of goods such as computers, software licenses and other supporting infrastructure today is still relatively expensive. Therefore, required an adjustment effort needs with costs to be incurred by an institution to build a computer networks. In this paper will discuss the comparison of the three models that are cost effective computer networks between LTSP (Linux Terminal Service Project), Userful and N-Computing. This research was conducted by calculating the costs that need to build the network and the effectiveness of treatment in terms of the three models in use.

Computer Network Model

LTSP

Userful and NComputing

From the research that has been done, from 4 kinds of models that we use (regular LAN network, n-computing, and userful LTSP), it can be concluded that: 1) The network model LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project), this network model requires more skills in the configuration, but for technicians often handle network configuration is not so difficult. In the case of any procurement savings model of this network because it does not require a hard drive on the client computer, the network model can also be run on a computer with the specs are still low. Its performance in terms of opening applications, the network model is also not inferior to standard network model. 2) The computer network n-computing, network model has weaknesses in its performance, as the network model is sometimes experienced a fair amount of time loading process, and display on the client NComputing less satisfactory. Substantial costs in procurement but the cost of care and the cost of the electricity expenditure, NComputing network model more efficient. NComputing configuration was not so complicated. 3) Model userful network, this network model also save in terms of cost because the client does not need the CPU itself but only requires additional VGA on the server computer.
