do youu need a network

 LESSON 2
How can a network improve business productivity and help businesses stay competitive?
by building a computer network you ca facilitate higher productivity

What requirements can a network can fulfill?
the requirement network fulfill the equipment and improving communication


LESSON 3
What is a sneaker network?
is a method for transferring electronic information, especially computer files, by physically couriering removable media

What is a peer-to-peer network?
Suspend reality for a moment and pretend that all of your peers are equals - you collectively share the same talents, beauty, brains, and charm.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of a peer-to-peer network?
advantages
# It is easy to install.

# Configuration of computers is easy.

# Users can control their shared resources.

disadvantages
# A computer can be accessed anytime.

# Network security has to be applied to each computer separately.

# Backup has to be performed on each computer separately

LESSON 4
What is a client/server network?
A client server network allows centralization of software. Software the entire office uses can be stored on the server and accessed by everyone

What the criteria is for having a client/server network?
For having a client/server network you need a server and a network operating system. If you don't have a server or other computers then it's not a client/server network.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a client/server network ?

Some of the advantages of the client/sever network are that all the files can be stored in the server, which makes it easy to manage, back up and protect the computer.Applications and database can be easily added and or be accessed from the server

Lesson 5: How Fast Can A Network Work?
What is Ethernet?
Ethernet is a way for connecting computer workstations in a network. It tells you how to build a network and tells you what kind of cables to use. In the Ethernet information travels through a network.


How does Ethernet work?
In a Ethernet information goes to computers once at a time, if too many computers or whatever devices are asking for something from the Ethernet then it will slow down.The thing is, the Ethernet does this very fast.

How fast can Ethernet go?
It depends on the internet bandwidth which determine the amount of speed that travels. There are two types of Ethernet speeds, they are 10 megabits per second and 100 megabits per second.

Lesson 6: Away From The Office
Why use Remote access?
Remote access is connecting to your network when you go out from home or work. That is a good technique because if you get stuck in traffic and you have this paper do for work, you can connect to your network and finish it in your car. You can get information from the companies network,emails, internet connections and software application.


What are the levels of remote access?
 Level one, allows the user to go through the emails that are in the job.
 
How does remote access work?
It needs two types of communication services, they are te client side and the server side. The client side stays in the computer user or who ever is using the computer and the server side is were the job is located.


Lesson 7: As Your Company Grows


What factors should you consider before expanding a network?
That you need more connection to get more users on the network. That you need more bandwidth to move files that are larger in the network. The way you manage and go through files on a peer-to-peer network is now hard to do. Also you should use centralized software and databases for go through accounts and contacts.



* What type of equipment is available to expand a networks capabilities?
Equipments that are available to expand a networks capacity would be the peripheral servers,  the file server/ remote access server the routers and or hubs.


Lesson 8: Pulling it All Together


What factors should you consider when designing a network?


You should consider connecting the Ethernet LAN so all the computers can work together. You should consider connecting the peripherals so you don't have to buy a lot of equipment.
