    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.
