In the profession of IT a key component in your job will be looking after networks keeping them operational (for the users whom use the network), safe (clean out any corrupt files, check security measures, look for a virus. Etc…) and secure (making sure only authorise users are accessing the network). But first what is a network in a general meaning? A network consists of two or more computers that are connected in order to share resources (such as printers), exchange files, or electronically communicate. The computers on a network can be linked through various ways such as cables, telephone lines, radio waves, satellites, or infrared light beams.
There are 7 different types of networks that you could work with, such as A LAN network (Local Area Network) or WAN network (Wide area network) those are the two most commonly used networks. The other included seven types are;
• LAN (Local area network) this network is one that operates over and is limited to a relatively small area such as a school or office building.
• WAN (Wide area network) A WAN network is one that connects networks in extremely large areas, such as a country or the world. To do this dedicated transoceanic cabling or satellite uplinks may be used to connect this type of global network.
• WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) A LAN network that is based on …show more content…
Well First of a school network implements a systems that manages the whole network. It allows user to access files over multiple devices without having to transport the file via USB or email. But sites can be blocked so you don’t have full control of what you do, what websites you can view, editing files and creating files and everything you do is recorded and monitored. But a home network gives the user free reign of what they want to do. Although it saves your data to one device not multiple and the networks speed is not defined it can be fast or slow unlike a schools
