Technology Has Never Been Easier...

A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and devices that share the resources of a single processor or server within a small geographic area (say, within a single office building).

The server will normally store applications and data that are shared by multiple computer users.

A local area network may serve as few as two or three users (as in a home or SoHo network) or as many as thousands of users. The common factor is that it is located in one building.

A wide area network (WAN) is a group of computing devices located remotely in an unlimited area and connected via some electronic means, i.e. telephone system, satellite link, in what is a virtual private network (VPN).

This network may be across town, between cities or between continents. Generally, the network consists of one or more lans, with servers for file and print applications, workstations for end users and printers for documents.

All of these resources are normally physically connected locally via some form of cable (such as coaxial or twisted pair cabling) to a distribution hub and/or router connected to an outside transmission medium.

The purpose of a wan is to allow an organisation to share data and hardware throughout all locations to maximise the company's return on their investment.

Voice over IP or VOIP allows you to use your existing data devices plus the internet to transfer voice traffic as well as data. Voice over IP can be carried over existing data networks, through the internet, over leased lines and the potential cost savings are enormous. As there are usually pre-existing data transfer methods and the investment in new equipment can be minimal, Voice over IP can mean free telephone calls even internationally.

It seems sense to reduce the cost of desktop computing in some new network installations. Utilising a Server-Based Computing Solution can deliver critical business applications to end-user devices through the use of Thin Client technology where 100% of the applications and data reside and execute on the server.
