I need to prove that networking equipment such as routers, hubs, switches, modems, server, firewall, etc are computers or computer related equipment. Can these equipment work without computer? Can these equipment work on its own i.e. independent of computers? I need to prove that networking equipment are computer related and cannot work without connecting to computer(s) or without the help of computers. Networking equipment transfers data between two or more computers or related equipment.
Are routers, switches, hubs, storage, servers considered computers or computer related?hijackthis
That's a fairly broad question, and it may help to know why you need to prove that these are one or the other.
Routers, hubs, and switches would normally be considered computer-related. Although some may argue that some of these, especially routers and some switches that have their own operating system and do some 'computational' work could technically be called computers. Most in the industry, given the choice, would still call these computer-related.
A modem is computer-related. Not likely to get much of an argument there.
Firewalls would normally be considered computer-related. Although they can also run their own operating systems and be considered 'computer' devices.
"Storage" .. not sure what you intend for this one. Network attached storage? Some kind of SAN?
