A network is collection of computers and devices connected together via

communications devices and transmission media.

Many businesses network their computers together to facilitate communications,
share hardware, share data and information, share software, and transfer funds.
A network can be internal to an organization or span the world connecting to the
internet.

Advantages of a Network.
