 Network
It is a group of two or more computers or other electronic
devices that are interconnected for the purpose of
exchanging data and sharing resources.
School Network
An organization that provides electronic communications
services to schools as a reseller of services from upstream
providers and/or using its own network.
 Advantages
1 User access control
User credentials on a privately owned and operated network may
be as simple as a user name and password, but with ever
increasing attention to computing security issues, these servers
are critical to ensuring that sensitive information is only
available to authorized users.
2 Connections
Administrators, instructors, and even students and
guests can be connected using the campus network
3 Services
The school can provide services, such as
registration, school directories, course schedules,
access to research, and email accounts, and many
others.
4 Internet
The school can provide network with access to the
internet, via an internet gateway.
 Advantages

can provide access to special purpose information from connected devices throughout the
computing devices which individual users would not school. They can also work cooperatively through

7 Workgroup 8 Information storing and

computing
Collaborative software allows many users to work
on a document or project concurrently.
sharing
Computers allow users to create and manipulate
information. The network provides both a place to
store the information and mechanisms to share that
information with other network users.
Disadvantages
Expensive to Install
Cabling, network cards, routers, bridges, firewalls,
wireless access points, and software can get
expensive, and the installation would certainly
require the services of technicians.

Requires administrative time

Proper maintenance of a network requires considerable time
and expertise.
Disadvantages
Cables may break
Some of the configurations are designed to minimize
the inconvenience of a broken cable; with other
configurations, one broken cable can stop the entire
network.

Security and compliance

Network security is expensive. A school network would possibly
be subject to more stringent security requirements than a
similarly sized corporate network, because of its likelihood of
storing personal and confidential information of network user, the
danger of which can be compounded if any network users are
minors.
