Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs) are
generic terms referring to two important basic types of networks. LANS may be thought of as a
bunch of lines connecting users together. WANS may be thought of as a bunch of lines connecting
cities together. If you want global email and web access, you will need a WAN connection.
SupaTech believes that a good networking design must answer both the LAN and WAN needs of its
customers and their users.
Prior to making recommendations, SupaTech learns about your organization’s plans for the
future. These plans greatly influence the considerations necessary to construct a network design
that is a long-term and cost-effective foundation for your organization’s future. A proper network
configuration implemented at an early stage in the company's development will enable growth
without reconstructing the network design. If, for example, your organization had the ability to
upgrade your WAN service without changing your LAN configuration, this could potentially be a very
large cost-saving factor for your organization. |
