Network Design

Networks are an integral part of many businesses’ computer systems. These networks include the local area network, wide area network and virtual private networks and can take a number of different architectural configurations.

Different Types of Networks in Network Design

There are basically three different types of networks that can be included in a network design, namely local area networks, wide area networks and a virtual private network. Local area networks are the networks set up within offices to connect the different computers in the business. Wide area networks cover a broader region and extend across geographical areas. A virtual private network can run either through a local area network or a wide area network and separates out users who are able to communicate via this particular network, such as online communication mediums.

Network Architecture Design

Network architecture design refers to the design of the computer network, or the way the different computers are connected together as well as to other hardware. The network architecture design can be classified according to a number of different factors including the network layer, scale, connection method, functional relationship or topology. Speak to CDN Technology about the network architecture design of the network required for your business.
