Network Architecture And The Standards - 1150 Words

Introduction This paper explores the understanding of network technology concepts and their relations to establishing networks. In addition, this paper will cover the network architecture and the standards that must be address prior, during and finalization of a network. Before we can build any type of network, we must understand the network technology concepts and how to apply them to a network. By establishing a foundation to build upon, require checks and balances in order to have a successful network operational. There are many criterions that needs to be set forth and has to be completed in establishing any type of network. Network Technology Concepts There are numerous network technology concepts that have been incorporated with†¦show more content†¦The peer-to-peer network is a type of network that does not use dedicated network servers for logging in users or providing secure access to network resources. This type of network lets clients share resources and have access to whatever they are sharing (i.e. printers). This type of network would be an excellent choice for small businesses with less than 10 employees because it enables them to share resources from their computer. These resources can be files, printers, and Internet connections. This type of network is a cost effective solution due to having less management or support from outside experts. This type of network setup and usage is simple, but it is less secure and be vulnerable to security breaches. The second network is the client-server network, which does use a dedicated server. It uses the dedicated server to centralize users and manage group accounts. In a client-server network, the server controls access to the resources to the other computers on the network and clients do not talk directly to one another (West, Dean, Andrews, 2015). Users at a client or workstation log on to the server using their own accounts and passwords. The users can only access resources that they were given permission for. This type of network is used for larger businesses to meet complex and challenging needs. This type of network has the potential to grow as the business grows. But, this can have a significant effect on cost
