Network's fundamental
Introduction
Networking refers to a computer connection in such a way that they can share files,
printers, applications and other computer related resources. The fundamentals of networks
include the ability of the organization to share machines such as printers, serves, and group
applications which are customized according to the way an organization works depending on
their core missions and visions of work.
Different organizations have different ways of doing things therefore, the
organizations come up with applications that are tailored to their needs and way of doing
things (Rappaport, 1996). As time, technology and strategies change the applications are
upgraded and tailored again to the new needs. With all these changes the organization reduces
costs by investing them in few applications that are of use to them and they are centralized
for all users from all remote places to access them.
Characteristics and components of Networks
Networks allow sharing of resources, making it cheaper to set up an organization and
save the initial costs of putting up the investment. Network computers can share centralized
computers and servers that are located at one place making the one time set up cost lower
because as more branches of the organization are set up the central computers and servers are
still in use.
Increase in computers and employees does not necessarily translate to increased set up
costs as the central system set up such as printers serves both for information storage and
internet are just plugged instead of the organization investing in different printers for each
individual (Goleniewski, 2002). Networks assist the employees in working together with the
same software’s and tools of work, such that continuity of work after an employee’s leaves
the organization because the group applications were all in use and for work to be done in the Network’s Fundamental characteristics and components
organization work has to be done in specific way. Important documents that are corporate
related and the organization’s applications were used automatically save the documents in the
server without having to save them in their work stations (Rappaport, 1996).
Moreover, use of group systems and applications increases the uniformity and
systematic ways of doing things, Uniformity makes work of all employees easy and it
develops “a way of doing things”, things are done in order, and there’s no complexity of work
done. The group ware makes follow-up of work done simple and easy to trace to specific
users.
Networking increases manageability of the organizations computers and
security is minimized to a few locations as the investment of the organization is at one central
place, though as the saying goes do not “do not put all your eggs in one basket”, it therefore
necessitates the organization to also invest in security of the computers and servers as they
are located in one central place. Network’s Fundamental characteristics and components
