Benefits of setting up a network:
Speed
The network performs
the task of transferring and splitting files at very high speed. The files
witout network is copied and shared in a floppy disk and then this disk is sent
from one computer to another. This method of transferring is known as Sneakernet
which takes much longer.
Price
Network versions of
many popular software programs are available at the right price. While its
price is better than the license copy individually. In addition to saving
money, sharing the program on the network works to upgrade the program soon.
All these changes are made once. Everyone on the file server instead of being
at work stations.
Security
Files and programs
are designed on the network as a copy inherit. So that you do not have to worry
about illegal copying of programs. With this, a password can be established for
the Directory. So that it can reach only the authorized user,
that is, practically the right user.
Central software manager
The biggest advantage
of setting up a network is that the specialty in schools is that all software
is loaded on a single computer. This energy sort that takes time and restores
the problem of restoring and covering all the computers of the entire building.
Sharing resource
Sharing resource is
another area in which network is ahead of independent computer. Most schools
cannot afford the cost of laser printers, in addition, it is expensive to add
fax machine computer modem screener and CD ROM players to each computer. But
whenever these or similar devices are joined together in a network, then they
are shared by many users.
Electronic mail
Network presence
provides the necessary hardware to install email. Email provides communication
facilities to schools, both personally and professionally. Through this
facility, even the smallest common information reaches the school staff. The
electronic mail on the LAN connects the students to their teachers through
communication facility and through this they can also see their schools. If the
LAN is connected to the Internet, students can get information about the whole
world outside of school.
Flexible access
The school network
provides the facility for students to access and work on their files from
inside and outside the school. And the public works of the network, the
students can complete the tasks assigned to them in the classroom itself and
also provide the facility of safe keeping and work in the public reception area
of the network, then those students finish their school work After that go to
the media center. Through the network, students do their work jointly.
Work group computering
Workgroup software
such as Microsoft back-office allows many workers to work on the same robbery
or to perform a task with consent. For example, in different schools, which are
in one country, they are provided with different documents or spreadsheets, the
same syllabus according to different standards, together with the learners.
Disadvantages of setting up a network:
1. It is expensive to install though the network saves
most time and money. There is an intrinsic cost to install it, but cable
network cards and software are expensive and should be installed by a
technician.
2. Manager work requires time to properly repair a
network, and needs experts, and many schools employ networks only to find they
have administrative support. There is no budget.
3. Server files may fail. Although a file server is not
expected to fail than a computer. When the file server is idle then the work of
the entire network stops.
4. Cables can break Topology contains many types of
information for the design of cables. For the inconvenience of the broken only,
some of it reduces its size by changing it. On making other changes, a broken
can only shut down the entire network.
