Study Notes
Advantages of Networking
- Better storage management: store a sharable application on each storage device, rather than having small hard disks in different computers.
- Preserving information: maintaining regular backups is easier when data is stored in a central location, making it easier to find lost information.
Cost-Effective
- Reduced hardware costs: shared hardware devices like modems, printers, scanners, and CD-writers reduce the overall cost of hardware.
Efficiency
- Centralized software management: updates, modifications, and deletions can be done at a single point, increasing efficiency and effectiveness.
Redundancy
- Reduced need for hard copies: sharing soft copies of files over the network eliminates the need for paper copies of reports and documents.
Quickest Document Delivery
- Instant document delivery: networking allows for instant delivery of soft copies from one computer to another, anywhere in the world.
Networking Components
- Network Card: a necessary component to physically attach a computer to a network, enabling network communication. (Most motherboards now come with a built-in Network Card.)
- Ethernet Network Card: the most commonly used type of network card.
