DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION NETWORK
Data management and storage
There are few choices for enterprises database management
software which is responsible for organizing and managing the
firm’s data so that it can be efficiently accessed and used.
Networking/telecommunications platforms
Networking and Communication revolution drive by new internet
based technologies and new business models and process that
leverage the technologies. The networking revolution shows no
sign of abating. Today a great deal of this communication task
place using computer and e-mail, the internet, cellular telephones,
and mobile computers connected to wireless networks.
Internet platform
Internet platforms overlap with and must relate to the firm’s
general networking infrastructure and hardware and software
platforms. The internet revolution of the late 1990 led to a vertical
explosion in server computers, with many firms collecting
thousands of small servers to run their internet operation.
Consulting and system integration services
Consulting and system integration have become a lucrative market
that can generally expand the revenues of computers hard ware and
enterprises software vendors.
Software integration means ensuring the new infrastructure works
with the firms older, so called legacy system and ensuring the new
element of the infrastructure work with one another.
, COMPUTER NETWORKING
Computer networks may be classified according to the scale or
extent of reach of the network,
» Personal area network (PAN),
» Local area network (LAN),
» Campus area network (CAN),
» Metropolitan area network (MAN),
» Wide area network (WAN)
BY NETWORK TOPOLOGIES
• Bus network
• Star network
• Ring network
• Mesh network
• Star-bus network
• Tree or Hierarchical topology network
A personal area network (PAN)
• computer network used for communication among computer
devices
• The reach of a PAN is typically a few meters.
• can be used for communication among the personal devices
themselves (intrapersonal communication)
• WPAN can also be made possible with network technologies
such as IrDA and Bluetooth.
• Ex. A computer with printer, telephone and scanner and
internet
