There are a few things you need to know and set, in order to successfully establish a remote desktop connection to
another computer: • The computer to which you will connect has to allow remote connections. This is set from the
host computer's System Properties. • You need to know the name or the IP address of the computer you want to
connect to. If you're trying to connect to a computer in the same LAN as you, you can use its name or IP address. In
case you're trying to connect to a computer over the Internet, you'll need the IP address of the host computer. Using
its name won't work. • You have to know the credentials of an administrator account from the host computer, or the
credentials of a standard user account that has been enabled for Remote Desktop connections.

That means you can use the remote computer as if you are in front of it. You can access any documents, run
all programs, use any devices that are connected to it, etc. • The host computer will display nothing on its
screen, so no one will see what you are doing remotely.

Mobile Computing

• Mobile Computing is a technology that allows transmission of data, voice and video via acomputer or any other
wireless enabled devicewithout having to be connected to a fixed physical link. The main concept involves –

• Mobile communication• Mobile hardware• Mobile software

Mobile software- it is the operating system of the appliance. It's the essential component that operates the

mobile device.

Mobile hardware-• Mobile hardware includes mobile devices or device components that receive or access the
service of mobility. They would range from portable laptops, smartphones, tablet Pc's, Personal Digital Assistants.

 Mobile data communication

• Cellular data service uses technologies GSM, CDMA or GPRS, 3G networks such as WCDMA, EDGE or CDMA2000.

more recently 4G networks such as LTE, LTE- advanced.

Principles of Mobile Computing

• Portability • Social Interactivity • Connectivity • Individuality

mobile computing devices are-

o Portable computers, compact, lightweight units including a full character set keyboard and primarily
intended as host for software that may be parameterized, such as-
1-laptop/desktop 2- smartphones/tablets 3- Smart cards 4- Celllular telephones 5- Wearable computers

 Limitations
• Security standards • Power consumption • Transmission interferences: Weather, terrain etc. • Potential
health hazards.

 What is Cloud?
• The term Cloud refers to a Network or Internet. In other words, we can say that Cloud is something,
which is present at remote location. Cloud can provide services over public and private networks, i.e.,
WAN, LAN or VPN.
• Applications such as e-mail, web conferencing, customer relationship management (CRM) execute on
cloud.

 Cloud Computing
• Cloud Computing refers to manipulating, configuring, and accessing the hardware and software resources
remotely. It offers online data storage, infrastructure, and application.

Benefits:-
• One can access applications as utilities, over the Internet.
• One can manipulate and configure the applications online at any time.
• It does not require to install a software to access

or
Managing Applications
• Processes installation, removal, and enumeration requests for software deployed through Group Policy.
If the service is disabled, users will be unable to install, remove, or enumerate software deployed through
Group Policy. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.manipulate
