Office LAN network connection

Client/server networks are used in most case scenarios. In this type of network one computer functions as a server - where all shared files and programs are kept and to which other machines are connected.

All the files are stored centrally, which brings many advantages to the connection:

• Efficient at backing up and handling data and it is more reliable than a peer-to-peer network.
• If the server does not fail, a single point in a client/server network will not affect other computers on the network.

Wired or wireless networks?

Wireless networking technology offers greater flexibility around the location of the IT equipment. Also, it requires fewer health and safety hazards in the workplace, with fewer cables around the room.

However, it all depends on the layout of the office. In some buildings, wireless signals can be slower and less reliable than cable connections, due to the wall thickness. Thus when choosing what type of network to put in your office, there is one more decision to make. Sometimes wired networking can be a more reliable and affordable option for your business.

How to check the best network topology for your office?

One of the most used topologies for office connection is the star bus. In this type of topology two or more star topologies are linked to a bus. But why is it most commonly chosen?

The star-bus topology has a big advantage. If a computer or more fails it will not affect the whole network of connection. For this reason, is suitable when you need to connect more devices and have an build a strong network connection.

Of course, there is a downside as well. If the central component, or hub, that forms the connection of all computers in a star, fails, then no computer will be working.

The other topology most companies use is the Star-Ring one. The advantage of the ring over the bus is that allows for greater network traffic between segments.
