INTRODUCTION • Google Chrome OS can be called even as an Internet

OS as it has emerged as the first OS that is completely dedicated to the internet

• Definition:-

• Google Chrome operating system (OS) is a Linux-based operating system from Google that is designed for Web-based applications and cloud computing. It stores data based on the principle of cloud computing i.e storing every data in the internet rather than storing in a hard disk. The only software application Google Chrome OS runs locally is Google chrome.

ARCHITECTURE

In preliminary design documents, Google

describes a three-tier architecture: firmware, web browser and window manager, and system-level software and userland services.

ARCHITECTURE

CHROME OS DEVICES Chrome OS is hardware specific thus it

only works on a narrow range of devices. Currently, devices that uses Chrome OS are,

ChromebookChromebox

CHROMEBOOKDefinition:- A Chromebook is a personal

computer running Chrome OS as its operating system. The devices are designed to be used while connected to the Internet and support applications that reside on the Web, rather than traditional applications that reside on the machine itself.

CHROMEBOX• A computer based on smartphone style

technology is chromebox. • Chromeboxes are the desktop variants of

Chromebooks. • Chromeboxes employ solid state memory

and support Web applications, but require an external monitor, keyboard, and pointing device. Samsung released the first Chromebox.

• The Chromebox is small enough to put on a desk, in a bookshelf or next to the couch. It is categorized as small form-factor PCs which features a power switch , built-in Wi-Fi and a set of ports like Ethernet ,USB, DVI-D, DisplayPorts, audio etc.

COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT OSChrome OS differs from Microsoft Windows

in terms of security feature like sandbox, which is not available in Windows.

In Mozilla there is no special hardwares designed for its operating System whereas Chromeboxes and Chromebooks are specially designed hardware for Chrome OS.

Even the latest technology, android lacks the booting speed of Chrome OS.

Chrome OS utilizes multi-core CPUs and graphics chips to the fullest which is comparable to the graphics quality of a Nvidia graphics card in a typical computer.

APPLICATIONS●     Education Sector●     Education Sector

Education Sector:-Chromebooks reduced the need for additional IT staff to

support their deployments, requiring approximately 69% less labor to deploy and 92% less labor to support than desktop PCs, laptop PCs, or netbooks.

Chromebooks' high reliability increased actual teaching and educational administration time by reducing the time lost in managing desktop PCs, laptop PCs, or netbooks by 82%.

APPLICATIONS

Tourism Sector:-Due to chrome devices’ light weight and mobility,

they could be carried anywhere across the globe. From the Google chrome store, a huge range of travel applications can be downloaded and can be accessed from anywhere on the globe.

We need not carry the device along with us since everything on the machine is on the cloud such that they can be accessed even from chrome devices that are rented in another country.

ADVANTAGES

Speed It is fast and less memory-intensive, enabling users

to access the web in a few seconds. It uses one-sixtieth as much hard drive space as Windows 7

ADVANTAGES

Other advantagesSecurityAppearing as traditional Local FeaturesAutomatic updatesSynchronisationSimplicity

LIMITATIONS

    

Hardware specificLess physical data storageLess connectivityVirtual Private Network(VPN) software cannot be

usedOnly web based applications are supported Software usage Limitation

Boon for small scale businesses:-We feel that Google chrome OS is a boon for small-scale

businesses. As compared to android, chrome OS offers much more speed and reliability and that too in a cost that is much cheaper than other conventional operating systems.

Chrome box replacing setup box:-• Chrome boxes can replace digital setup-boxes and

Channels from any part of the globe can be viewed. This helps the convergence of the television media and the computer with internet facilities more affordable.

CONCLUSION

• Google chrome OS seems to be a promising technology in the global market.

• More people who cannot afford computer will need something cheap. Google chrome OS will be a boon to these people.

• It uses a simple design that makes upgrades in invasive features easier.
