Resource
- In general a resource is any Hardware or software that is accessible by the computer, network or other object connected to a computer. For example, a printer connected to a network is an example of a shared resource. Another example of a resource may be a network server farm or cluster that allows users to have access to multiple computers to perform complicated tasks.
- When referring to only the computer a resource or system resource is any of the internal computer components. Most often this refers to the amount of available computer memory. For example, a program may report low system resources, which indicates the computer is running low on available memory and it may be necessary to close some of the open programs.
