Computer systems Computer systems A computer system consists of a set of hardware and software which processes data in a meaningful way. The personal computer or PC exemplifies a relatively simple computer system. The Internet exemplifies a relatively complex computer system. A computer is a machine that processes data by giving information, and it performs certain operations on the given data and presents the results back. ...more on Wikipedia about "Computer system"

Lights-out management (LOM) is the ability for a system administrator to monitor and manage servers by remote control. A complete LOM system consists of a hardware component called the LOM module and a program that facilitates the continuous monitoring of variables such as microprocessor temperature and utilization. The program also allows for such remote operations as rebooting, shutdown, troubleshooting, alarm setting, fan-speed control, and operating system reinstallation. ...more on Wikipedia about "Lights out management"

Almost all computer software requires some features to be present on a computer system before it can be used with the computer. These necessary features are known as system requirements, and are often used as a guideline as opposed to an absolute rule. Often two sets of system requirements are given for an item of software: a minimum set of requirements (which must be satisfied for the software to be usable at all) and a recommended set of requirements (for maximum performance). Computers with even lower specifications than the minimum requirements may sometimes also run the software satisfactory; it's suggested, however, that the user will not have a representative experience of the software this way. ...more on Wikipedia about "System requirements"

Systems design is the process or art of defining the hardware and software architecture, components, modules, interfaces, and data for a computer system to satisfy specified requirements. One could see it as the application of systems theory to computing. Some overlap with the discipline of systems analysis appears inevitable. ...more on Wikipedia about "Systems design"
Systems management refers to enterprise-wide administration of distributed computer systems. Systems management is strongly influenced by network management initiatives in telecommunications. The most known systems management systems are IBM Tivoli Framework, Microsoft Systems Management Server, HP OpenView, Novell ZENworks and CA Unicenter. ...more on Wikipedia about "Systems management"
