LAN Construction

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses that, even in small companies, there is a need for computers to communicate with each other, thus extending the power of standalone PCs; a Local Area Network (LAN) facilitates this. The author points out that some of the advantages of a LAN are communication, management control, cost effectiveness, downsizing, and new application software. The paper stresses that, after the installation of all the hardware and software, the LAN must be tested carefully to ensure that it meets the entire network's needs; the constructed LAN should be managed by a trained professional to ensure that it gives the maximum efficiency to its users.

From the Paper:

"The Local Area Network constructed for the company will mostly constitute of microcomputers that is, most nodes on the LAN will be microcomputers. The two servers in the LAN would be the Mail Server and the File Server. A server is a computer that is dedicated to providing one or more services to other nodes. It controls the shared resources and handles all the data requests. In our LAN, the servers will have a larger hard disk and plenty of RAM. In order to maintain good performance, the RAM is used to buffer disks requests. The File Server on our LAN will provide file and disk access services."
