Networks

1. LAN

   • Disadvantages
     • 1. Resource Sharing Sharing of resources such as hard disk drives, DVD drives and Printers are made easy in Local Area Network. For an example all the resources can be connected to one single computer with a network so that whenever there is a need of resources it can be shared with the connected computers. 2. Software Sharing Another type of sharing made easy here is the Software sharing. A single computer with the licensed software can be shared among other users in the network. There is no need to purchase individual license for each and every computer in the network. All can be worked under one single license. 3. Convenient Communication Using LAN users can exchange messages and data in a convenient way. Since the data is placed on the server it can be accessed anytime by the LAN users. Every single LAN user can do this with others on the network. Hence, this not only saves lots of time, it ensures that messages get delivered to the right people. 4. Centralized Data As me

2. WAN

   • Disadvantages
     • 1. Area Coverage WAN generally covers geographical areas of large proportions (1000kms or more than that). Probably if your business offices are located at different locations, then without an effort all the branches can be communicated through WAN. For this purpose Internet Service Providers (ISPs) can provide leased lines. 2. Centralized Data Using WAN means that you can share the data connected to all the devices in the respective network. For an example you can setup head office server and share the data among all the office branches. Hence, there is no need to purchase separate emails, files and backup servers. Instead you can get all the backup and support from the head office server. 3. Updated Files From WAN users can get updated files and data from the servers. Companies can work to update files from the servers so that all the connected devices can receive them. That too in a fraction of seconds. 4. Message Exchange With the advancement of Internet of Things (IoT) a
