ADVANTAGES OF NETWORKING
Resource sharing
Reduction in cost
Increased storage capacity
Fast Data transfer
Easy to take backup
Reduces data inconsistency
Reduced redundancy
Increases security
Resource sharing
In a computer network, all the hardware and software
resource are shared among ther users of the
network.the additional peripheral devices, such as
printer, scanner, modems, fax machines, etc., can be
connected to one central computere and shared
among the others. Also, it becomes very easy and
convenient to share the data and files among the users
of a computer network.
Reduction in cost
The cost of hardware is considerable less in a
computer network as all the computers share the
hardware resource. The software can also be saved by
purchasing the software and licenses for the server,
and distributing them to the clients.
Increased storage capacity
As in a network, the users can store their files on
remote computers, so they get more space to store
their data
Fast data transfer
Networking provides a facility to transfer the soft
copies fro one computer to the other at a high speed
Easy to take backup
It is difficult to maintain regular backups on a number
of stand – alone computers. You can set the server in a
network to take regular backup of data automatically.
Reduces data inconsistency
when multiple mismatching copies of a file are stored
at diferent computers, it is called data inconsistency.
In a network, the deletion, modification, or updation
of the files can be done at a single point only. This
reduces data inconsistency and brings in more
efficient.
