Answer:

Network Operating System (NOS)

Step-by-step explanation:

A network operating system (NOS) is an operating system that makes different computer devices connect to a common network in order to communicate and share resources with each other using a server. A network operating system can be used by printers, computers, file sever among others, and they are connected together using a local area network. This local area network which they are connected to works as the server.

The NOS also acts as a network security because it could be used as an access control or even user authentication.

There are two types of NOS

1) Peer to peer network operating system.

2) Client/server network operating system

A network operating system (NOS) is a server-based operating system oriented to computer networking and may include directory services, network management, network monitoring, network policies, user group management, network security, and other network-related functions.
